Originally known as Fondante de Boise or "Sweetmeat of the Woods." This pear was introduced to this country in the early 1800s. The large, rounded fruits have creamy-yellow skin blushed red along with firm, creamy-white flesh that becomes meltingly tender, sweet and aromatic. Hardy and highly productive. Ripens from mid-September to early October.
Cross-pollination with another pear is recommended. We suggest Seckel.
