Narrative

A russet sport of Gorham which originated in the W.F. Shannon orchard in Hood River, Oregon, in 1936. Fruit resembles Gorham in size, and form. Skin very smooth,deep gold in color, overspread with uniform 'cinnamon' russet. Attractive. Very resistant to friction and pressure bruising. Flesh white, fine, juicy, buttery, but somewhat firmer than Gorham in texture. Sweet, rich, vinous flavor, rates among the best in dessert quality. Appears to keep a little longer than Gorham. Tree identical with that of Gorham in vigor, form productivity, and blight susceptibility. Grand Champion appears outstanding among comparatively new pear varieties. -- H. Hartman 1959.

Grand Champion (PI 541197).-Originated in Hood River, Oregon, by W.F. Shannon. Introduced in 1943. Plant patent 585; 18 May 1943; assigned to Stark Brothers Nurseries and Orchards Co., Louisiana, Missouri. A russet sport of Gorham discovered in 1936. Fruit: skin overspread with attractive golden russet, does not show bruises; flesh white, juicy, flavor spicy; dessert quality good; keeping quality good, storing well until late December; ripens about 2 weeks after Bartlett. Tree: blooms late; identical to Gorham. Late blooming, precocious, heavy bearing, susceptible to fire blight. -- Brooks and Olmo Register of Fruit and Nut Varieties, 1950.

The Repository has had inquiries about a 'Shannon' pear that was grown in the Albany, Oregon, area and sold at local farmer markets. Could this be the same as 'Grand Champion'? - J. Postman 2003
