LAGO MAGGIORE.Loved this variety. Checked every single box. One of my top yielders this season. Taste is really good. Flesh is pretty dense and juicy. Fruits store well too.<\/p>\n

Shapes vary a lot. Ribbed pears, plums. Sizes range from 3.5 oz (100 g) up to massive 1.1 lb (500 g) giants. Skin is thick, didn’t crack even with high soil moisture.<\/p>\n

Ripens gradually. Doesn’t drop blossoms, sets almost every truss. Best pruned to two stems.<\/p>\n

Tall, strong plant.<\/p>\n

Extended harvest, mid-season variety.<\/p>\n

Grew this one the year before last. Yeah, it’s productive and tasty. But the flesh wasn’t dense for me. Gets soft really fast.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
