Anjou pears are thought to have
originated in Belgium, and they are
named after the Anjou region in France.
The variety was introduced to England
early in the 19th century. Called Beurré d'
Anjou, they were introduced to America
in about 1842. The name has been
shortened simply to "Anjou.“
Green Anjou pears are recognizable for
their egg-shaped appearance, having a
larger spherical lower portion that begins
a gradual taper above the mid-point to a
narrower rounded top. Their skin color is
bright green, and sometimes has a soft
red blush. Skin color shows only very
subtle color change while ripening.
 The golden yellow fruit has white flesh that is crisp
and coarse in texture—excellent for canning, baking,
preserves and pear honey. The tree produces fruit late
September to October
 The Corella pear is available from April to the
end of October. Small to medium in size.
Corella pears are great eaten fresh or try it in a
salad. Looking for party food ideas? Impress
your guests with this zesty dip best served

 With a distinctive red and gold tone the Red
Sensation pear is available from February to
the end of May and is medium in size. The Red
Sensation is perfect for desserts and fruit
salads. For a dessert idea try glazing Red
Sensation pears and serving with mascarpone.
 It is a cultivar (cultivated variety) of the species Pyrus
communis, commonly known as the European Pear The
fruit has a bell shape, considered the traditional pear
shape in the west, and its green skin turns yellow upon
later ripening, although red-skinned derivative
varieties exist. It is considered a summer pear, not as
tolerant of cold as some varietie
 These pears, found during the late season in the high hills of
Himachal Pradesh, radiate green skin and a large flush of red. As
it ripens, the green deepens to yellow. Flemish beauties are fickle,
as their taste and potential depend greatly on the picking’s timing.
Sometimes the flesh is tender and buttery; other times, grainy and
insipid.
 . Available from March to November the Winter Nelis pear is also
known as the Quall or Honey Pear. Small to medium sized, its
sweet flavour makes it ideal for cooking or bottling, and delicious
when eaten fresh. Discover our range of delightful pear

 In early stages of ripeness, conference pears are
crisp but grow buttery smooth at peak
ripeness. Do not wait for this variety to turn
golden yellow, as this indicates overripeness.
Red Anjous originated as naturally
occurring bud sports found on Green
Anjou trees. "Bud sports" are
spontaneous, naturally occurring
transformations that crop up on trees,
and they are most often unnoticed.
Red Anjous, however, are an
exception. Actually, they are an
exception that occurred twice, as the
first red sport of Anjou was
discovered in the early 1950's near
Medford, Oregon, and a second red
sport was discovered in the late
1970's in Parkdale, Oregon.
The color of Red Anjous varies from
pear to pear, however they are
generally dark maroon in color,
sometimes with light vertical streaks
of color that were naturally created
by the sun while the pear was still on
The variety was first planted in 1832
or 1833, and those trees first bore
fruit in 1836. The first plantings
were done in the eastern U.S., on
large estate orchards and later
commercial orchards. Now Bosc are
grown largely in the Northwest, as
the trees were found to thrive best
in the soil and climate of the Pacific
Northwest states of Oregon and
Washington.
Bosc pears stand out in a crowd for
many reasons. Their long, curved
stem and elegant elongated neck
that widens gradually to a full
rounded base creates a silhouette
that is unique among pears. Bosc
are also unique for their color: a
warm cinnamon brown with
russeting over the surface of the
 Known properly as Doyenné Du Comice, this French variety of pear was
first propagated near Angers in the mid-1800's. The first red sports were
discovered in the 1900's near Medford, Oregon. A "sport" is a rare,
naturally occurring transformation that develops spontaneously on fruit
trees. The first red sport of Comice, discovered in 1960, presented a
somewhat striped pattern. A full-red sport was discovered about 10 years
later, also in the Medford area
 Comice appear in all sizes, but their shape is unique among varieties;
having a rotund body with a very short, well-defined neck. They are most
often green in color, and sometimes have a red blush covering small to
large areas of the skin surface. However, some newer strains are almost
entirely red in color. The succulent Comice can grow to be very large, and
the jumbo sized beauties are often the ones that appear in gift boxes
 Known as America’s favorite pear, the Bartlett variety
actually came from Europe. It functions as the standard
by which all other pears are measured and is a favorite
for fresh eating, canning and preserves.
 The Bartlett pear is easy to grow and will reward its
owner with beautiful blossoms in the spring, large and
luscious fruit in late summer and a continuous crop for
as much as 100 years.
 Called “Summer Pears” because of the time of year in which their
harvest begins, Red Bartlett and other red summer pears like the
Red Gold Pear, Red Silk Pear, and the Rosi Red are similar in
shape and texture to Yellow Bartletts. Offering differing floral
aromas and a supple sweetness, Summer Reds add a beautiful
contrast of flavor and color in fruit baskets and bowls. Familiarize
yourself with Red Bartlett pears here and look for them at your
local market!
 The Concorde is a unique pear variety that combines the best
features of the Conference and Comice pears from which it is
derived. It is ideal for any cooking or baking use, as well as for
fresh eating. Firm texture and vanilla-sweetness combine with
very little browning when cut or sliced, resulting in an excellent
all-purpose pear
 "Good things often come in small packages." In the case
of the diminutive Seckel, this could not be more
truthful. The smallest of all commercially grown pears,
Seckels are exceptionally sweet. So sweet in fact, that
the bite-size morsels are sometimes called "sugar
pears."
 For what they lack in size, Forelle pears make
up in sweet flavor and beautiful appearance.
Known as a great "snacking" pear, Forelles are
as wonderful to eat as they are beautiful to see
on display!
Starkrimson pears are named for
their brilliant crimson red color and
feature a thick, stocky stem. The
Starkrimson is a mild, sweet pear
with a subtle floral aroma. It is very
juicy when ripe and has a pleasant,
smooth texture, making it perfect for
snacking, salads, or any fresh use
that shows off the brilliance of its
skin.
 French butter pears are great for cooking with and, as long as you let
them get fully ripe, have a wonderfully soft and rich texture for eating
raw, too. They can be a pretty green color but some turn a more golden
color when ripe (like all pears, true ripeness can be told by the tenderness
of the flesh around the stem more than from the color).
 A medium sized (9-14 oz), early maturing, light green
to yellow-bronze fruit with a slight russet. Flesh is

August, early September. Also known as New Century.
 Huge early ripening pear. Rough brown
russet skin, some weighing a pound or
more. Unattractive appearance, but good
flavor. The crisp, crunchy flesh makes it a
good choice for salads as well as fresh
eating. One of the largest early ripening Asian
pears. It ripens in mid September.
 Medium to large, flattened, brown russet greenish fruit with thick
skin. White flesh is crisp like an apple when ripe; mild, slightly

profuse bloom period, making it a good choice as a pollenizer.
Very little thinning required for large fruit. Fruit hangs well on the
tree.
Long bloom period
 The most famous Chinese pear, from a different species
than Japanese varieties. Matures from green to yellow-
green, but sometimes difficult to tell if ripe. Not round

Anjou Pear Origin and Characteristics

  • 1.
  • 2.
  • 3. Anjou pears are thought to have originated in Belgium, and they are named after the Anjou region in France. The variety was introduced to England early in the 19th century. Called Beurré d' Anjou, they were introduced to America in about 1842. The name has been shortened simply to "Anjou.“ Green Anjou pears are recognizable for their egg-shaped appearance, having a larger spherical lower portion that begins a gradual taper above the mid-point to a narrower rounded top. Their skin color is bright green, and sometimes has a soft red blush. Skin color shows only very subtle color change while ripening.
  • 4.  The golden yellow fruit has white flesh that is crisp and coarse in texture—excellent for canning, baking, preserves and pear honey. The tree produces fruit late September to October
  • 5.  The Corella pear is available from April to the end of October. Small to medium in size. Corella pears are great eaten fresh or try it in a salad. Looking for party food ideas? Impress your guests with this zesty dip best served with Corella pears.
  • 6.  With a distinctive red and gold tone the Red Sensation pear is available from February to the end of May and is medium in size. The Red Sensation is perfect for desserts and fruit salads. For a dessert idea try glazing Red Sensation pears and serving with mascarpone.
  • 7.  It is a cultivar (cultivated variety) of the species Pyrus communis, commonly known as the European Pear The fruit has a bell shape, considered the traditional pear shape in the west, and its green skin turns yellow upon later ripening, although red-skinned derivative varieties exist. It is considered a summer pear, not as tolerant of cold as some varietie
  • 8.  These pears, found during the late season in the high hills of Himachal Pradesh, radiate green skin and a large flush of red. As it ripens, the green deepens to yellow. Flemish beauties are fickle, as their taste and potential depend greatly on the picking’s timing. Sometimes the flesh is tender and buttery; other times, grainy and insipid.
  • 9.  . Available from March to November the Winter Nelis pear is also known as the Quall or Honey Pear. Small to medium sized, its sweet flavour makes it ideal for cooking or bottling, and delicious when eaten fresh. Discover our range of delightful pear recipes and enjoy an Australian Pear today! 
  • 10.  In early stages of ripeness, conference pears are crisp but grow buttery smooth at peak ripeness. Do not wait for this variety to turn golden yellow, as this indicates overripeness.
  • 11. Red Anjous originated as naturally occurring bud sports found on Green Anjou trees. "Bud sports" are spontaneous, naturally occurring transformations that crop up on trees, and they are most often unnoticed. Red Anjous, however, are an exception. Actually, they are an exception that occurred twice, as the first red sport of Anjou was discovered in the early 1950's near Medford, Oregon, and a second red sport was discovered in the late 1970's in Parkdale, Oregon. The color of Red Anjous varies from pear to pear, however they are generally dark maroon in color, sometimes with light vertical streaks of color that were naturally created by the sun while the pear was still on
  • 12. The variety was first planted in 1832 or 1833, and those trees first bore fruit in 1836. The first plantings were done in the eastern U.S., on large estate orchards and later commercial orchards. Now Bosc are grown largely in the Northwest, as the trees were found to thrive best in the soil and climate of the Pacific Northwest states of Oregon and Washington. Bosc pears stand out in a crowd for many reasons. Their long, curved stem and elegant elongated neck that widens gradually to a full rounded base creates a silhouette that is unique among pears. Bosc are also unique for their color: a warm cinnamon brown with russeting over the surface of the
  • 13.  Known properly as Doyenné Du Comice, this French variety of pear was first propagated near Angers in the mid-1800's. The first red sports were discovered in the 1900's near Medford, Oregon. A "sport" is a rare, naturally occurring transformation that develops spontaneously on fruit trees. The first red sport of Comice, discovered in 1960, presented a somewhat striped pattern. A full-red sport was discovered about 10 years later, also in the Medford area  Comice appear in all sizes, but their shape is unique among varieties; having a rotund body with a very short, well-defined neck. They are most often green in color, and sometimes have a red blush covering small to large areas of the skin surface. However, some newer strains are almost entirely red in color. The succulent Comice can grow to be very large, and the jumbo sized beauties are often the ones that appear in gift boxes
  • 14.  Known as America’s favorite pear, the Bartlett variety actually came from Europe. It functions as the standard by which all other pears are measured and is a favorite for fresh eating, canning and preserves.  The Bartlett pear is easy to grow and will reward its owner with beautiful blossoms in the spring, large and luscious fruit in late summer and a continuous crop for as much as 100 years.
  • 15.  Called “Summer Pears” because of the time of year in which their harvest begins, Red Bartlett and other red summer pears like the Red Gold Pear, Red Silk Pear, and the Rosi Red are similar in shape and texture to Yellow Bartletts. Offering differing floral aromas and a supple sweetness, Summer Reds add a beautiful contrast of flavor and color in fruit baskets and bowls. Familiarize yourself with Red Bartlett pears here and look for them at your local market!
  • 16.  The Concorde is a unique pear variety that combines the best features of the Conference and Comice pears from which it is derived. It is ideal for any cooking or baking use, as well as for fresh eating. Firm texture and vanilla-sweetness combine with very little browning when cut or sliced, resulting in an excellent all-purpose pear
  • 17.  "Good things often come in small packages." In the case of the diminutive Seckel, this could not be more truthful. The smallest of all commercially grown pears, Seckels are exceptionally sweet. So sweet in fact, that the bite-size morsels are sometimes called "sugar pears."
  • 18.  For what they lack in size, Forelle pears make up in sweet flavor and beautiful appearance. Known as a great "snacking" pear, Forelles are as wonderful to eat as they are beautiful to see on display!
  • 19. Starkrimson pears are named for their brilliant crimson red color and feature a thick, stocky stem. The Starkrimson is a mild, sweet pear with a subtle floral aroma. It is very juicy when ripe and has a pleasant, smooth texture, making it perfect for snacking, salads, or any fresh use that shows off the brilliance of its skin.
  • 20.  French butter pears are great for cooking with and, as long as you let them get fully ripe, have a wonderfully soft and rich texture for eating raw, too. They can be a pretty green color but some turn a more golden color when ripe (like all pears, true ripeness can be told by the tenderness of the flesh around the stem more than from the color).
