Campas Pear

A Bolu favorite and good to eat!

Originated in St. Petersburg, Florida, on the farm of Martin Campas. “Introduced in 1935 by Stanley Johnston, Michigan Agriculture Experiment Station, South Haven, Michigan, as “Campas #2”. Parentage unknown; discovered in 1923 by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, which propagated and distributed trees for trial purposes to many experiment stations; it proved of sufficient value for canning in comparison with Kieffer at the Michigan Station to warrant its introduction and naming. Fruit: size medium; skin yellow, somewhat russeted; flesh with fewer grit cells, whiter, and softer than Kieffer, which it resembles; ripens late. Tree: high degree of resistance to fire blight. – Brooks and Olmo Register of Fruit and Nut Varieties -- Description provided by National Clonal Germplasm Repository, Corvalis, Oregon.
