Saint Mathieu is a traditional cooking pear, originating from the border areas of northern France and Belgium.
The pears are not very palatable for eating fresh because the flesh is quite hard and tannic. However they come into their own when baked or stewed.
Sorry we have not produced any trees of this variety this season.
Saint Mathieu trees are naturally vigorous, and are traditionally grown on standard seedling rootstocks. Old trees get very tall and impressive.
