Do you meanThis fall I'll taste it a 3rd time and try to answer your question then after a 3rd taste. The particular pear has the following characteristics as a fruit and tree:
you found a buttery fleshed Bosc type?
Buttery, as in the way a
ripe Bartlett, or Comice are?
-Lon Rombough
My diary has the following entry regarding this pear:
10/20/04 driving by the original Nagog Pear seedling, was astonished to see large pears hanging on it. I didn't know those pears were that large, and I didn't know they would hang this late.
I have propagated this pear primarily for flavor and growing habit. I don't think its a world beater. I like the way it grows. As for the buttery, I just can't say. It is very sweet and tasty, an easy rugged little tree...the original seedling is I'd say under 10'. I don't have any reason to think its any better than anything else, but it produces all by itself without nearby pollinators, it might produce much more and larger under orchard conditions. I don't see how this could supplant any commercial variety, because the size, except for the large size of 2004 [which I only saw, didn't gather] wouldn't replace. But we'll watch it.
