We planted a Chojuro pear as part of our urban permaculture garden when we
moved here last year. It bore 12 pears this year. They definitely had a
butterscotch flavor. They are supposed to be good keepers, but we didn't
get a chance to check that out because the entire crop disappeared
practically overnight after I convinced our skeptical teenager to try one.
We have the same "problem" with William's Pride apples. Actually, William's
Pride apples are not good keepers, but that hasn't been a drawback since
they disappear so quickly in our family.

<snip> We have one tree that Julie claims tastes just like butterscotch
and is always eaten fresh. Generally the butterscotch pears
are consumed within ten feet of the tree and we have never managed
to store any.
