Flemish Beauty Pear

Originally discovered in Deftinge, Belgium during the Napoleonic Wars of 1810 by a Belgian pear 'enthusiast named Jean-Baptiste Van Mons. Van Mons is famous for his work with pears and documented the first pear seedling selection and growing process. Many European pears (Bosc and D'Anjou) stem from this selection process.
