Pear Tree (Bosc)

The Bosc pear can be identified by its long, narrow shape and brown skin. When picked perfectly ripe off the tree it will be firm, juicy and full of sugars. Can be harvested and left to soften as well- we prefer it tree ripened and firm- very good flavor. A great variety to grow for fresh eating or canning. Ripens late October. Use fresh or cooked. Plant with another European pear variety for cross pollination.
