History and description of Beurre Hardy

Raised c 1820 by Bonnet in Boulogne, France. It was acquired by the nurseryman Jamin in 1830. He named the variety after Hardy, Director of the Jardins Luxembourg in Paris. A widely grown commercial variety in France and elsewhere in continental Europe. Grown comercially on a very small scale in the UK.

Medium to large, round conical fruit. Rough, light green skin covered with a fine bronze russet. Not unlike a Doyenne du Comice in appearance. Occasional red flush. Creamy white, tender, juicy flesh. Sweet, aromatic flavour with a hint of rosewater.

Vigorous, upright tree. Slow to come into bearing but good regular cropper particularly in a warm location. A very poor pollinator.
