Doyenne du Comice - Espalier (1 Tier)

The finest flavoured pear of all.  Raised at Angers, France in the 1840's and introduced into Britain in 1858. Very attractive pale green-yellow fruits with pinky-red flushing, the flesh is juicy and fine-textured with the most delicious flavour. It needs a warm and sheltered site to grow and crop well, so ideal for training on a southfacing wall.
