Vintage Virginia Apples

UBILEEN is a large-fruited, early ripening pear from Bulgaria. It was originated at the Institute for Fruit Growing, Kustendil, Bulgaria, by Vasil Georgiev in 1957. The skin of the fruit is yellow-green with a red blush. The flesh is yellow, fine-textured, buttery, sweet, juicy, subacid, and aromatic. This pear can be stored for 4 to 6 days at room temperature and is a favorite dessert pear. The tree is large, vigorous, and resistant to scab. It ripens in late July, fully one month before most other European Pears.
