Pears
Virginia Berry if pleased to offer the following Pear varieties:
Ayers is a medium-sized, yellow pear with a red blush. The fruit has so much natural sugar it melts in your mouth. Partially self-pollinating.
Bartlett is a medium to large pear most commonly used for canning. The fruit is tender, juicy, buttery and of high dessert quality. Requires a pollinator.
Keiffer is a greenish-yellow pear with a red blush. The sweet, juicy flesh is hard, making this a good pear for canning.
Moonglow is a Bartlett-type pear. The flavor is at its best when the pear is yellow-green. The fruity fragrance heightens the enjoyment. A great pollinator for other epars.
Not to be confused with Asian pears, the Orient is a domestic variety named because of its large round shape that is similar to that of Asian pears. The Orient pears have yellow skin with smooth textured, sweet, firm, juicy, white flesh. The Orient pear does best with a pollinator such as Bartlett, Kieffer, or Moonglow |
