Taxon Species
Description Green D'Anjou pears are the green cultivar of D'Anjou pears, which are a short-necked cultivar of European pear. D'Anjou pears are medium to large, around 80mm in diameter. They have a wide base that tapers at the stem and pale green skin that does not change color as the pear ripens. The flesh is firm, sweet, and juicy. They can be eaten fresh or baked. The tree has white blooms in the spring. D'Anjou pears are not self-fertile. They require pollination by a pear tree of another variety with the same bloom period within 50 feet (Bartlett, Bosc, Seckel). Standard and dwarf rootstocks are available. Depending on the size chosen, the tree will bear fruit within 4-6 years of planting. Test ripeness by pressing the top of the pear near the stem. If it gives slightly, the pear is ripe and ready for harvest.
