About D’Anjou Pears
Availability:
September through May
Did you know?
D’Anjou pears do not change color when ripe.
Shorter and rounder than Bartlett, D'Anjou is picked green in September and ripens only after cold storage for a month or more. It softens and becomes light green or greenish-yellow upon ripening. Once ripe, it is soft, juicy, sweet and smooth-fleshed.
D'Anjou originated in France near Angers in the early 1800's. It is now grown commercially in Oregon and Washington for storage and sold after Bartlett from October through May.
