My Kieffer pear (which I got from walmart years ago) bears heavily
every other year & luckily this is a heavy one. They dont ripen on the
tree here so I pick them during right after the first mild frost & put
them in a brown bag. Usually in 10 days or so they are ready to eat.
Also my Kieffers produce a very thick bitter skin, so I tend to peel
them in order to eat them. mIEKAL

Keiffer pear has it's typical heavy crop - should have been thinned
heavily, as the myriad of fruits it's carrying this year probably
won't size well.
