Hailing from Gloucestershire, Brandy Pear is a rather unusual variety to find as it characteristically produces smaller trees, and so was quickly and aggressively grubbed out when it became less popular. The cause of its lapse in popularity is a mystery as it produces a rather delicious, honeyed perry with a very pleasant flavour and hints of passion fruit.
