Narrative

Rescue (PI 541538).-An attractive, early ripening, large-fruited pear suitable for canning and fresh use. Originated near Vancouver, B.C., by a Mr. Abrey. Pyrus communis type of unknown parentage. K. Nomura rescued scions from the original tree in 1976 before it was destroyed, after death of its owner. Fruit: large to very large, 75 to 85 mm. in diarn., often 110 mm. long; pyriform., symmetrical, with wide base and small core; short, fleshy stem. Skin bright yellow with orange-red blush; flesh cream-colored, smooth, melting, juicy, and mild, similar to Clapp Favorite. Ripens 6 days before Bartlett; stores about 12 weeks at 1C. Tree: upright; moderately vigorous; few branches and spurs. Annual bearer; pollen cross compatible with Bartlett; blooms about 3 days after Bartlett. -- Brooks and Olmo Register of Fruit and Nut Varieties

'Rescue' - found by Knox Nomura, a nursery grower near Buckley, WA. He had seen the pear at fruit shows but the exhibitor never allowed anyone to take cuttings from his tree during his lifetime, and after his death the tree was scheduled for removal to expand an adjacent cemetery. Knox Nomura "rescued" scionwood from this original tree, and sent trees to Mount Vernon in 1975 for testing. Introduced in 1987. -- Washington State University, Mount Vernon: http://extension.wsu.edu/maritimefruit/treefruit/Pages/Pears.aspx
