Nothing has been written here for a long time.
Who grows the variety?
Like @clarkinks I don’t have the panache sport but will be grafting citron de carmes (aka Madeleine) in the spring; it is very hard to find in the US but Corvallis is kind enough to send me some
it is an old variety (has quite a few offspring) and is an early season pear (before Bartlett)

Any growers in the UK here want to try to get scionwood of the panache sport (and send one of the cuttings to the U.S.):

Seems hard to import to U.S. I did ask NationalFruitCollection about it.
Was hoping it would just be a money issue, like just paying $100 for phyto certificate vs a larger import process.
Euro/French people can try to get from this nursery though btw:
These pears are highly fireblight susceptible if like citron de carmes.
