Blossom of Pear 'Forelle', mid March. Also known as 'Truitee', 'Forellenbirne', Trout Pear' and 'Corail'. "The origin of 'Forelle' is uncertain, probably Northern Saxony, Germany, and known since 1670. Named because of its prominent lenticel dots resembling the markings of a trout (Forelle in German)."
