Pear Doyenné du Comice

Pear Doyenné du Comice

An excellent dessert pear with a very rich flavour; the taste is sweet and very full, everything you want from a pear. Excellent quality, but moderate crops, although older trees crop more reliably, however it does require a warm and sunny site to do well. Pear Doyenné du Comice was bred in France at the Garden of Comice Horticole in Angers in the 1840s. Soon after it was introduced to England. Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society.
