Blake's Pride is a golden-yellow pear with attractive russet speckling. The neck is squat with a shape more akin to Comice. The fruit provides a juicy flesh and a smooth, buttery texture. Stores three months or more in cold storage. As with other fireblight resistant pears, farmers prefer this variety for ease of growing. Excellent choice for espalier.
