About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
The Vereinsdechant (Doyenné du Comice) is regarded by many as the finest tasting pear of all, a large fruited winter pear that you can store into December. It does, however, demand a warm, sheltered site and good soil to show its full aroma. A pollinator such as ‚Conference’ is essential.
Exceptionally juicy, melting and full bodied sweet with a refined, layered aroma. When the site suits it, it is the queen among dessert pears.
