Narrative

Clone from IR-2, Prosser, Washington. Prosser obtained from University of California, Davis, in 1977.

Raised by Rivers of Sawbridgeworth from Beurre Goubault, open pollinated. First fruited about 1875. Reliable and heavy cropping but of poor quality. A tetraploid, self fertile sport was discovered at Seabrooks Nursery and named 'Improved Fertility' but it is not much of an improvement. Fertility is pollen-incompatible. Fertility. -- J. Arbury 1997

'Intergeneric apple (Malus) and pear (Pyrus) crosses show that the pear 'Fertility' is more successful than many others. Studies at East Malling using eighteen apple rootstock clones and three pear cultivars also show that 'Fertility' pear has exceptionally high graft compatibility with apple.' -- R.J. Garner. The Grafter's Handbook. 1988 (5th edition).
