Description

Also called Beurre d’Anjou

Still tasty seven months later. This pear hits all the right notes. It’s cold-hardy, vigorous and precocious... and its keeping quality is unparalleled at up to seven months. Bright green and very firm at harvest, with a tinge of yellow as it ripens. Subtly sweet, fine-textured flesh. Introduced to America in 1842. Harvest in late September. Pollinator required: Choose another pear variety, like Bartlett, Beurre Bosc or Starking® Delicious™. See more recommended pollinators below.
