Pear x 'Bosc': Long-Necked Pears with Sweet Fine Flesh

Bosc develops large, long-necked pears with yellow skins and russeting. Its sweet, juicy, fine-textured flesh arrives in a later crop, generally around mid-October.

Plant Characteristics:

• Height: 5-6 m
• Spread: 3-4 m
• Flower Colour: White
• Flowering Period: Spring
• Foliage: Green
• Sunlight Requirements: Full Sun
• Soil Requirements: Well-Drained Soil; Average to Dry Soil

Uses and Benefits: Choose Bosc for fresh eating, canning and a pear harvest that can be stored. Its elongated shape distinguishes it from rounder pear varieties.

Care Instructions: Arrange compatible cross-pollination and keep branches open to sun. Thin crowding fruit and pick sound, mature pears carefully so their skins remain intact for subsequent ripening and storage.
