The Karcher pear, also collar pear called, is one of the many varieties of cultivated pear ( Pyrus communis ). In 1999, the State Association for Fruit Growing, Garden and Landscape Baden-Württemberg named the Karcherbirne as the orchard variety of the year to draw attention to the decline in this cultivated plant .
Origin and Distribution
The Karcherbirne is a random seedling from Gaildorf near Schwäbisch Hall ; it was first mentioned in 1854. Nowadays it is grown particularly in the Hohenloher Land and occasionally in Württemberg and Austria .
description
tree
The strong-growing, mighty tree with a high oval crown is less susceptible to disease and resistant to fire blight . It makes little demands on its location and brings high yields even in rougher areas. The leaves are round, gray-green, with red autumn colors.
fruit
The fruits are medium-sized, round to spherical-pear-shaped and weigh around 50 to 100 grams. The skin is rough, with a green base color, yellow-green on the sunny side. The large lenticels are conspicuous, the fruits are slightly rusted towards the calyx. The flesh is juicy, sweet, with a bitter, astringent taste component. The pears ripen from late September to early October and do not have a long shelf life. Due to their high sugar content of 17.5% (66–80 ° Oechsle ), they are suitable for making must, fruit brandy and sparkling wine, as well as for drying .
