Narrative

Butt (PI 541156). -- A late season perry pear with moderate acids and moderate tannins. Origin: Traditional cultivar from the Gloucestershire and Herefordshire regions of England, widely planted during the 1800s. Fruit: Small, turbinate to slightly pyriform, 44-51 mm. long, 42-51 mm. diam.; stem slender to 30mm; no stem basin, slight calyx basin; calyx open or reflexed. Skin lemon-yellow to greenish yellow, slightly russetted near stem and calyx; lenticels inconspicuous except on russet. Flesh tinged yellow, coarse-grained, granular with stone cells around core. Ripens early November in England s West Midlands, early October in western Oregon; excellent keeping quality prior to milling. Tree: Mature tree is moderately large; long branches have conspicuous spurs; heavy producer but tends toward biennial bearing; slow to come into bearing; some fruit scab. Perry: Fruit milled 4 to 10 weeks after harvest; juice acidity 0.54, tannins 0.32, specific gravity 1.056; slow to ferment; produces a fruity, slightly astringent vintage of good quality. - Brooks and Olmo Register of Fruit and Nut Varieties

Butt is a widely planted and popular cultivar, remarkable for the length of time the fruit will lie on the ground without rotting. There is common saying associated with this cultivar: 'Gather your Butts one year, mill them the next and drink the year after'. It appears to be the same cultivar locally known as Norton Butt.
