Pear Harvest 2025

I really like Duchess D’ Angoulme. It is a heavy producer with a good flavor. It is not in the class of exceptional pears though it is one of my favorites. I have seen them grow to near 2 pounds and they can easily exceed that.

Largest / Best tasting pear

These Duchess D’ Angouleme are huge! They have at least a month left on the tree and they are already big and sweet. It’s only September 4th! They are normally picked late October to early November! Pick one off once in awhile to lighten the branch load and eat it like an Asian pear. I removed the majority of the flowers this year. They fruit early on callery rootstocks. I top worked these trees several years ago. [image] [image] [image] [image] [image]
