Editor's Note: This source provides only the most basic summary. A complete identification would require: detailed measurements; specific forms and proportions; skin texture and lenticeling; cavity and calyx characteristics; flesh color, density, and juiciness; flavor profile and acid-sugar balance; stem characteristics; core structure; tree growth habit and bearing behavior; origin and history; storage characteristics; and any documented subtypes or sports. The Encyclopedia of Practical Horticulture's abbreviated format does not provide these critical identification details.
If more complete historical sources on Pyle's Winter exist (period pomologies, nursery catalogs, USDA descriptions), they should be consulted to build a comprehensive identification entry.
