Madame Grégoire is exactly the kind of heritage cultivar that deserves wider distribution. Its attractive, regularly shaped fruit becomes melting, exceptionally juicy and sweet, with gentle freshness and a light musky aroma. Despite relatively weak growth, the tree crops heavily and consistently, making it valuable for smaller forms. A vigorous interstem may nevertheless improve development when grown on quince.
