The trees grow slowly at a young age, but they can become very large and form an imposing crown. A tree of this variety was 230 years old. Süli pears do not make any special demands on the location. The Süli pear blooms early, its fruits ripen late, around the end of October. She regularly delivers high yields. The small, cone-shaped fruits are initially green-yellow, with increasing degree of ripeness, dark-yellow and rusty. The juicy, coarse-grained flesh is rich in sugar and acids and very tart.
