Elaine pear

Is anyone familiar with the Elaine pear?

According to Century Farm Orchards: “it is a very sweet and firm pear. It’s native to southern Mississippi and can tolerate extremes well. Fruit is medium in size and green to brown in color, getting more brown as it ripens. Ripens in September to early October and stores well.”

I can’t find any other info on it, and I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with it.

No but I know gentleman who have a mystery pear that looks just like that. Except theirs gets simi-soft when ripe. God bless.

We have had this tree for over 50 years and it produces every year.
