Narrative

Grown from seed in 1857 and introduced to the Georgia Horticultural Society by P.J. Berkmans in 1890. A small, apple-shaped pear, greenish-yellow in color, usually blushed, often blemished. Similar to Seckel in texture and approaching it in dessert quality. Susceptible to core breakdown if left too long on the tree. Somewhat earlier than Seckel in season. Generally inferior to Seckel as a variety. Tree vigorous, productive, moderately susceptible to blight. -- H. Hartman, 1957.
