Narrative
Originated in Medford, Oregon. Selection from the old "Reimer Block" at the OSU Experiment Station in Medford, with fruit quality that attracted the attention of local growers in the 1980s. The cross may have been made by Frank Reimer in the 1950s, or maybe by someone else after he retired (Vaughn Quackenbush?). 'Paragon' is presumed to be a cross of Max Red Bartlett x Comice, although the fruit does not exhibit any red skin color. Fruit is about the size and shape of 'Bartlett', perhaps a bit lumpier, green ripening to yellow, with exquisite flavor and texture similar to 'Doyenne du Comice'.
