An improved seedling of 'Ure' pear selected for its improved vigor, chlorosis resistance and iron-clad cold hardiness. Abundant white flowers in spring produce yellow fruits on average 10 days earlier than 'Ure'. The foliage is an attractive, glossy green. Use 'Ure' for pollination. Selected by Dr. Wilbert Ronald at Jeffries Nurseries Ltd. in Canada. It is said that this pear is resistant to fireblight, I have no reason to say otherwise.
