Comice Pear
Pyrus communis 'Comice'
Renowned as the classic gift-pack pear, this variety is celebrated for its sweet, aromatic flavor, fine texture, and exceptional quality—truly among the best. The fruit features a short neck and greenish-yellow skin accented by a red blush. A late-season harvest, it requires about 600 chill hours and is self-fruitful in most western U.S. climates, though it also pairs well with Bartlett as a pollinizer.
