Belle d'Août Pears Lithograph by Abraham Jacobus Wendel, c. 1879 |
||||||||||
| A historical pear variety known by several names over the centuries, including Belle d’Août, and now referred to as Belle de Bruxelles. It featured prominently in 19th- and 20th-century European pomological works, and likely originated in 18th-century Germany before being planted across Europe in the 19th century. Today it is an uncommon variety cultivated by European pear growers. |
