Normänische Ciderbirne Perry European Pear

Normänische Ciderbirne Perry Pear

One of the best pears for making perry, (a hard pear cider), Normänische Ciderbirne produces small russeted pears with a yellow green skin that make a complex and delicious pear juice. Somewhat slow growing and very upright, so branch spreaders are often helpful when the tree is young to maintain a more open form. Very disease resistant.
