This tree is extremely vigorous grows upright with large shoots.
The pear is large green inclining to yellow as it ripens.  The stalk
is very strong and long.  The flesh is well flavored and tolerably
juicy, coarse grained.  It does not however appear to be the
Rousellet of Miller or L'Abbé Rozier - It ripens through the 
whole of September.
