Mrsg47,
Thank you! Remember these are the same pears that underwent that severe cold this spring Strange weather - Will it get our blooms and fruit? - #188 by clarkinks. You can see some of these kieffers are wearing the marks from that cold weather. That’s what that russeting is you can see on some of them. Improved Kieffer’s normally are not russetted much at all like some of these are. Some were completely russeted like potatoes. They are usually a glossy green pear with some red on them. Getting any fruit at all was very fortunate. These were the blooms of this improved kieffer on March 27th.
