Narrative

Fruit medium in size, roundish in form. Skin yellow in color, considerable blemish. Flesh white, not juicy, potato-like in texture. Undergoes practically no softening during ripening. Disagreeable flavor. Of no consequence as a fruit. Tree extremely vigorous and stately, has lusty, dark green foliage, not fully evaluated as to blight resistance. -- H. Hartman 1957

Arose in Thurgau region of Switzerland on the southern borders of Lake Constance; an area famed for its orchards. Recorded in 1823. Name means 'water pear' and it produces a light perry; trees are very hardy. There are also Wasserbirne pears of Swabia in Wurtemberg, southern Germany. -- J. Morgan. 2015. The Book of Pears
