Pyrus communis 'Beurre Superfin' A sweet, buttery, spicy dessert-quality pear originating in France in 1837. A top connoisseur's choice for flavor, fragrance and texture! Yellow, medium-sized, roundish fruit has patches of russetting and the smooth, melting texture, combined with the intensely aromatic flavor make this a delight. A summer-style pear, it keeps its impeccable quality into October. The late bloom is stunning. Ripens late mid-season on a tree with a spreading habit and moderate vigor. Lower chill than many, it is a reliable tree for both northern and southern growers, although it prefers a protected location in cooler climates. Somewhat self fertile in some locations. Bloom category 3.
