Description:
Pyrus communis 'Doyenné Du Comice' is a pear tree renowned for producing what many consider the world's best-tasting pears. The fruit is large with a greenish-yellow skin and a rosy-red blush, offering a crisp, sweet, and juicy experience with creamy white flesh. It blooms with white flowers in mid-spring and requires a pollinator like Bartlett or Bosc for optimal fruiting. This tree thrives in USDA zones 4-9, needing full sun and well-drained soil, and is drought-tolerant with some supplemental watering. It grows vigorously with little pruning needed and is traditionally associated with Christmas. Introduced in France in the 1800s, it requires 500-600 chill hours for fruit development.
