Have bought one of these to cross pollinate another pear (Delwinor). I was told it would be OK in Glasgow. Does anyone have any experience of these pears. Do they taste good?
Sorry can't advise as I've not grown them, but they look gorgeous and a super write up at Reads Nursery
"Pear Durondeau, Large and handsome fruit, shining next the sun with lively crimson streaks, yellow and russetted on the shady side. Flesh very tender and melting. Ripens at the end of October. Pollination group 3."

Glad you got a reply but I've not grown it either... :-X
