The skin is downy, thick and tough, the flesh whitish, translucent, melting and very juicy, the flavour sub-acid and very pleasant, the quality good. Ripens mid-season. The seeds are commonly 4 - 5 to a fruit, the seed cavity is not large. This cultivar is a natural dwarf, growing about 1.5 metres tall. It is highly resistant to pear blight. Self-infertile, it requires a pollinator for fruit production. 'Gold Nugget' is said to be a good pollinator.
