Cedar-Apple Rust:
susceptible
Fire Blight:
resistant
Powdery Mildew:
resistant
Notes:
The medium-sized to large fruits are conical and somewhat
ribbed with a golden, heavily russetted skin. The flesh is firm, coarse,
sweet, juicy, and reminiscent of pears in aroma and taste. For fresh
use. Resistant to black rot/bitter rot and moderately resistant to white
rot. The russetted skin should reduce problems with sooty blotch and
flyspeck, but the rough appearance may make fresh marketing chal-
lenging.
