Pear Pairs

2008.09.16
European pears are the pear shaped. Bartlett is a famous variety of European pears.

These are Asian pears. They are rounder and the fruit is crisper than European pears - more like an apple.


I have more than a pair of pear trees. I have three.
One is Asian and 2 are European. It is almost time to harvest. Pears are one of the few fruits that are best harvested before they ripen on the tree. This will be another bountiful year. There will be pear wine and pear honey and pear whatever else I may find.

Judith28 Your beautiful photos and information have taught me something today. I don't know a lot about pears. I do know that they seem to be a fruit with a very short window of perfection . . .either they are too hard or mushy if not just right. I love these shots.

photopoet Ah—to have one's own pear trees—such a wondrous delight. I go to the orchard a few miles away and wander amongst their pear trees. These are wonderful succulent pears and photos that tease the taste buds.

snappy Tasty pics!
I'm not sure, if we can buy Asian pears. Some have names of women: Gute Luise, Herzogin Elsa or a funny one: Forelle, which means trout.
