This is an old French cultivar. It belongs to most appreciated table cultivars of pears. It isn’t too represented among the intensive breeding because of its unappealing attribute of having a rusty cover on its skin. It gives middle large to large fruits that have a dense pear-like shape. The basic colour of the skin is fuzzily-green, and it turns into fuscous yellow, ocher colour whlile ripening.

Flash is yellow-white, middle firm, with a very nice texture, juicy, soluble, with a nobel tatry sweet taste. Cultivar is of a good quality. Trunk is lushy to very lushy, but it grows slowly. The characteristic of this cultivar is its poor ramification, so the treetop is thinly, but wide. It gives a lot of fruits. It’s resistant to scab and late spring frosts. It’s very compatible with quince, and therefore it’s commonly used as an interstem.
