Maintenance advice : At the end of winter, cut down any incumbent branches, to ventilate and maintain a harmonious and balanced form. Shorten any branches too long at a young age and then every 4-5 years to rejuvenate. For trellised forms, in summer, reduce spring shoots by 2/3 in length, leaving 5-6 leaves per branch, and at the end of winter cut down any twigs of more than 15cm long to just above the third bud from the base.

An improvement of the 'Williams' pear, juicier and sweeter, less musky and so more tender but also red skinned ! Very productive and vigorous. Muture at the end of August/early September. A large pear, with delicate, tender and juicy white flesh, a delicious sweet tangy flavour. Introduced and developped in Europe by Georges Delbard.
