Owner's comments

This pear has lots of synonyms. I bought it as Bon Chretien Williams. Very tasty and juicy pear. I describe the taste as a typical pear taste with lots of musky aroma's. Nice pear taste, with a little tartyness to make the flavors come out. One of my favorite pears, sometimes number one. I also have the Red Bartlett. When grafting...this pear variety cannot be grafted directly on a quince rootstock. You'll need an interstem.
