A traditional perry pear widely grown in Austria and Normandy. Also known as Normanischen, Normännische Ciderbirne.
Widely cultivated in Austria and Normandy, this tree is upright, with a slender, poplar-like form. It is slow to produce and low vigor, but it is resistant to scab.
Normännische produces a very small, turbinate pear, with a greenish yellow skin that is russeted and speckled with grey lenticels. This pear is used exclusively in perry production; it is not suitable for fresh eating. The yellow-white flesh yields a sweet, sprightly juice.
