Description
Pear 'Williams Bon Chretien'-often simply known as 'Williams'- is a large yellow pear with an excellent sweet and juicy flavour. "Bon Chretien" (Good Christian) is named after Francis of Paola, a holy man whom King Louis XI of France had called to his deathbed as a healer in 1483. Francis offered the king a pear seed from his native Calabria with instructions to plant and care. Hence the pear tree was called "Good Christian".
