The 'Madeleine des Deux Saisons' is a fantastic variety which will produce two crops a year in the right conditions: the first and largest crop comes in July and a smaller crop comes in September. To ensure the first crop is successful, you need to protect the fruits as they form and grow over winter. The fruits are pear-shaped with juicy pink flesh that is encased in brown skin; the fruits can be enjoyed fresh or made into a jam or preserve. Once established, this tree will be a good and reliable cropper.
