> I really like the sweetness and the crispiness of the Seckel pear

Am I correct that you can let the Seckel pear ripen on the tree? I've 
heard that somewhere. Are there any other pears like that (other than 
Asian pears)? I just don't like the idea of picking them green and 
ripening them indoors. Seems like I might as well buy them in the 
grocery store if I'm going to do that.
