Laxton’s Superb (pe)

Dessert pear Raised by Laxton Bros. of Bedford in 1901 and introduced 1913. A cross of the varieties Williams Bon Chretien x Beurre Superfin. Received an RHS award in 1956. Medium sized, yellowish green with an occasional dull red flush and broken stripes. Flesh is yellow, soft and sweet. It is partially self-fertile so will set some fruit by itself. Having another same or different pear variety with the same or adjacent pollination group will help cropping.
