Harvested closer to mid-autumn, when the fruits turn green-yellow. Volumes depend on climatic conditions and crop care.

Diseases and pests
This type of pear is characterized as resistant to disease, but can be prone to scab and moniliosis if not cared for properly. The scab first destroys the leaves, forming velvety spots of olive color, and then passes to the fruit. The best prevention against spores of such a fungus is spraying, ventilating and ensuring constant air circulation.
In addition, to protect the tree from scab, it is worth periodically removing old branches and thinning the crown.
Moniliosis is the rotting of fruits, as a result of which half of them fall off, and the other half remains on the tree to rot. This problem can recur from year to year.Bad fruits should be removed immediately, completely affected branches should be cut down, and the tree should be sprayed with burgundy liquid.
