Bosc pears were introduced in the early 19th century. This means that they have been a part of our diet for some time and are firmly entrenched as one of the tastiest pears around. The cooler regions of the country are perfect for growing bosc trees.

These types of pears develop a sweeter flavor while on the tree and do not need as long of cold storage to obtain a wonderful flavor. If the fruit is harvested very early, it will reach its full flavor in 14 days.

The skin of bosc pears is a wonderful rusty hue while the flesh inside is a creamy white, sweet and buttery.
