Comments:
Grows well in the South. Limbs break easily due to very narrow crotches. Pollution tolerant. Has a bountiful amount of flowers in spring and good autumn color with leaves turning a deep reddish-purple. It produces enormous amounts of fruit which are eaten by some birds and other wildlife. It is subject to some fire blight, a bacterial disease that kill back new shoot growth. Used as a rootstock upon which others pears are grafted.
