Fruit of medium size, truncated conical with long stem inserted into a characteristic patch of russet, skin clear green becoming yellow when after a long storage ripens one by one, what Andre Leroy (1867) described as approaching the fragrance of Hyacinth, making this among the most exquisite of pears. The best choice to follow Comice and anticipate Winter Nelis. Harvest at leaf fall, ripens January. On Betulaefolia.
