Beetroot Wick Court Alex

Beetroot WC Alex

A red-fleshed pear that in some years makes a pink perry that holds its colour – one of three different, red-fleshed pears found in the same orchard at Wick Court named after one of the three siblings who owned the last herd of Gloucester cattle prior to the breeds rescue by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust.
