| Nice compliment to Yellow Pear, but not nearly as prolific or easy. Fruits and plants are smaller than Yellow Pear, and annual yields per plant are under 3# in my garden.
Novelty shape is attractive, and flavor is good.
This one can often be found at local garden centers, making it available to gardeners who don't start their own seeds.

| Nice companion to yellow pear. I mainly raised this one because I remembered it from my grandparents garden. I wasn't disappointed. It produced so many I was begging people to take them. Makes an excellant juice and looks nice in salads. I found the taste an old timey tomato taste. Nice to pop in the mouth straight from the vine. No disease problems. |
