Narrative
The collector first noticed this street tree in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Portland in 2022. He first thought it was a giant quince tree, however after stopping it was clearly a Pyrus × bretschneideri pear. The owners did not know the history of the tree, but could tell it is on its own roots and is maybe about 30 years old. The tree produces large yellow, barrel-shaped pears that have that classic bretschneideri scaly pattern. Flesh is dense, crispy, and juicy. Free from scab and leaves appear clean. Mildly sweet with a nice, pleasant aroma. Stores until about mid-December. Fruits do not match any samples in the Corvallis collection. A promising selection for the Pacific NW. Direction of cross is unknown.
