The Golden Russet Bosc^® pear is a superior sport of the standard Bosc that has a fine net-like russet covering the entire surface of the fruit. As the oblong shaped fruit matures and the ground color changes from green to yellow, the pear takes on a distinctive golden appearance. This d' Anjou season pear has excellent dessert quality. The tree is moderately vigorous and grows in an upright manner. Golden Russet^® Bosc is a suggested pollinizer for Taylor's Gold™.
