The Winter Nelis are small to medium, chubby, greenish-brown pears. The
skin is often rough to the touch because of russeting. It is only fair in
flavor. Prior to the imports, it used to be an important variety because
of its longevity. Winter Nelis were available in late spring, when the major
varieties were out of season. Today, very few are shipped to market.
