White Doyenne European Pear

Pyrus communis 'White Doyenne' This ancient French cultivar is prized for its melt-in-your-mouth texture and superb flavor, both fresh and cooked. Tastes like a fine, rich buttery chardonnay, sweet-yet-tart, with musky undertones and a strong perfume. The favorite pear of famous chef Alice Waters! Ripens in September. Early bloomer; match with another early or mid-season bloomer for effective pollination. Lasts up to 3 months in storage. Some fireblight resistance.
