History: Little is known about this variety aside from the fact it originated in France and was widely grown in Austria. It has historically been popular in both countries.

Why We Grow It: Normannischen-Ciderbirne produces small, russeted pears  that are a greenish-yellow. The fruit produces high quality juice for perry.
