Tip them up and when the stem breaks off in your hand they are ready.

I picked another Shinseiki today and one of the Hamese. They both came off easily when turning up. In chilling them prior to sampling. Hamese on left, Shinseiki on right

Those look pretty good! Can’t wait to see the taste ratings.

Beautiful. Before you know it, you will be complaining here about thinning pears

Speedster,
You never said how they tasted. Hope they had a nice flavor.
That Hamese was picked too early and was not very good. I had another Hamese pear that I let ripen longer was much better. It was as good as Shinseiki from what I remember.
