My Asian Pear Trees arrived today, thank you. Very well wrapped and in good order. One is for a friend, and one for myself. Fortunately I had left the outside door open, and shut the inner door, as I must have been in the garden when the parcel was delivered, or they might have taken my trees away!

Description

Pre-dating the Russian Revolution of 1917 this heirloom variety originates from the Crimean Peninsula colloquially known as the Isle of Krim, located on the Black Sea coast.

Heavy cropping, this variety deserves the term 'beefsteak' as the fruits are both large and truly very 'meaty', with juicy firm flesh; whilst some suggest this is an excellent variety for stuffing, we have to disagree as that would mean scooping out some of that gorgeous flesh. That said, this is a lovely variety when cooked - and slices simply grilled are just divine.

Starting off green, the fruits mature to a brown-red colour with a darker top. Fruits average 4" (10 cm) in diameter but can be much larger - in fact, as the trusses develop additional support with canes or string may be needed! One small downside of this variety is that it is hard to grow a visually 'perfect' fruit as they often crack at the top or the base, but whatever you do don't let that put you off - this is a fantastic variety.

  • This is an indeterminate variety and best grown as a cordon (vine).
  • For best yields stop at 5th truss if growing under protection (3rd outside).
  • Whilst the best crops will be grown under protection, this variety can also be grown outside.
