I don't know that much about pears but we've had Bartletts on various properties and they all matured like instantly and we'd have to can like crazy or they'd all rot. I don't know what the neighbor had but they matured over a period of about 6 weeks. If you like just plain eating them, then I'd ask around about a pear that ripens over a period of time.

What kind of pear do you think I should grow? This is zone 7.
I have two 'yard pears', probably Keiffers, that produce enough to whet
my appetite for a really good variety, and one Maxine grafted onto
Moonglow. That tree is almost 10 years old, 25 feet tall or more, and I
have only gotten a few pears from it. I like making pear salad,
(pears, cheese, a splash of mayo and a cherry), I can some just to eat ,
but mostly I just like a good eating pear that will keep at least as
well as apples. I like the taste and texture of Bosc and Bartlets, and
I like the color of more red pears...I have the Stark catalog in front
of me and can't decide. Suggestions?
