Narrative
The present invention relates to a new and distinct pear variety. More particularly the new cultivar is designated 'Taylor's Gold' and is a mutation of the 'Doyenne du Comice' variety. The variety was discovered on the inventors' property at Motueka, New Zealand. After the variety was discovered, it was asexually reproduced by grafting onto root stock... The fruit was first observed on the reproduced plants in 1989... Taylor's Gold is distinct from Doyenne du Comice... in that 'Taylor's Gold' is fully russeted, breaks leaf dormancy 7 to 10 days earlier, and the fruit is smaller. In other respects 'Taylor's Gold' is similar to 'Doyenne du Comice'. -- From U.S. Plant Patent 8308 (issued 20 July, 1993). Inventors: Michael B. King-Turner and Wendy M. King-Turner, Motueka, NZ.
