Anjou, European Pear (Semi-Dwarf)

      Also known as d’Anjou, this wonderful pear was first introduced to America in 1842 and is still a favorite to this day. The fruit are of medium to large size, with a subtly sweet flavor, a fine texture and exceptional storage abilities. If stored properly they can keep for up to 7 months! It is important to note that these pears do not really change color very much when ripening, so you must feel for a slight give to pressure at the narrowest part of it’s neck to determine when it is ready for eating which is usually around late September. Anjou pear trees are very cold-hardy, vigorous and precocious.

Pollinator required – must plant near a compatible variety of pear for fruit production.
