A rare Welsh perry pear from Monmouthshire.
Fig-like shaped fruit, yellow skin with red streaking flush, some russet.
Begins to fall early September.
A rare and old Welsh variety rediscovered on a farm in Corse, Gloucestershire, in 1994. This variety was previously noted in Long Ashton Research Station records as existing in Monmouthshire in the 1950s, and the family on the farm referred to in these records later moved to Corse, presumably taking the trees with them.
Produces a very nice perry.
