The ancient pear variety Großer Katzenkopf (Syn.: Crown Prince Fredinand, ham pear, Winter butter pear) was already grown in Franconian tree nurseries in 1590, but is only left today occasionally widespread. Every two years she bears plenty of pears of considerable size.

I studied agricultural science in beautiful Weihenstephan. In addition to gardening (I mainly grow vegetables and herbs), my heart beats especially for the animal world. No matter if dog, guinea pig, hedgehog or bee - everyone should feel comfortable in my garden.
Favorite fruits: watermelons and raspberries
Favorite vegetable: potatoes
