No Fridge Euro Pear Varieties

General Fruit Growing
#1

I ran this topic 3-4 years ago, but this time I would like to build a master list. Plus the last post only produced a few. This is for people that do not want the hassle of dealing with cold treatment of pears or just do not have the fridge space. The list will allow them (and myself) to plant varieties that they can pick and counter/tree ripen with no fridge time. I’m grafting over many of mine for this reason.

If you know a variety that goes tree to counter with no fridge. Name it for the list. Must ripen as good as if fridge ripened

-Ayers
-Harrow Sweet

Not much experience as I sold orchard, but recall picking up some perfectly ripened Colette that fell. Anyone concur?

I think I read that red Bartlett don’t need fridge time. That being said some of the best cultivar of pears need fridge time.
