Following someone's post about picking pears before they get tree ripened and putting them in cold storage, I picked my Ure Pears when they first began changing color. Apparently I missed some and they fell off the tree two weeks later. Wishing to learn how tree-ripening affected stone cell production, I bit into several finding they are the best tasting pears I have ever eaten. There was an acceptable, tiny bit of grit in the peel but the flesh was wonderful. Henceforth I'll let them ripen on the tree.
