'I venture to send this thinking that some of our members would value ripe fruit of this tree. Ripe fruit dry, mealy; varying from pale orange to light red. Bicknor, Coldwell, and Symond's Yat, for all of which this Pyrus has at various times been quoted, form a single range of wooded limestone rocks, about three-quarters of a mile in length.- AUGUSTIN LEY' [Botanical Exchange Club report].

'Pyrus Aria x torminalis teste Hedlund. From Bicknor, Symond's Yat, and Coldwell. All three really one stretch of wooded limestone rocks, and sent out as P. latifolia. Rev. A. ley in litt. 21/1/10 to C.B.' [Bailey].
