Beurre Rance

Fruit medium, pyriform; eye small, open; skin dark green, with numerous black-russety spots; flesh white, melting, very juicy, sometimes richly flavoured. February and March. A late and very valuable sort for dessert, succeeding as a bush or standard, or on a west wall. It should be double-grafted. The fruit does not always ripen; but it is also good for stewing.
