Anjou, European Pear (Semi-Dwarf)
Sold out

They are of medium to large size, with a subtly sweet flavor, a fine texture and exceptional storage abilities. If stored properly they can keep for up to 7 months! It is important to note that these pears do not really change color very much when ripening, so you must feel for a light give to pressure at the narrowest part of it's neck to determine when it is ready for eating.
