Narrative

Listed by Ragan (1908) as 'Zurich' and by Hedrick (1921) and Leroy (1869) as 'Sucre de Zurich' . Sometimes known as 'German Sugar'. Origin obscure, probably Switzerland. Known in France as early as 1836. Fruit small in size, roundish-turbinate in form. Skin light green in color, many small grayish dots. Flesh white, fine, buttery or melting, juicy. Sweet, slightly aromatic, but second rate in dessert quality. Tree large, vigorous, stately, having lusty, dark green foliage. Somewhat resistant to blight. -- H. Hartman, Oregon Ag. Experiment Station, 1957.
