Description
Origin: France, of uncertain parentage, known since 1876.
Tree: medium vigour, and poor affinity with quince; high productivity is consistent if properly pruned.
Fruit: large size, curved, elongated shape; thin yellowish-green skin with russetting; flesh is white, juicy, melting, sweet and flavourful.
Overall: the most common cultivar in Italy, in demand for export due to large size, flavour and storage
potential.
