The old Seckel is outstanding for fresh eating and the fruit is colorful.

Any suggestions for the best fresh eating pear? We're looking for 
something for our front yard, probably a single tree.  Ornamental 
qualities would be a plus, such as fall color or a red pear. My main 
interest, though, is one that will taste great.  Are all pears pretty 
equal on this or does anyone have any recommendations?

Regards,

Jay
