My Ures are low grit and juicy, but maybe they just taste that way to
me 'cause I grew them. I hate gritty pears. I love those bright shiny
red ones (no idea what the name is) as they have a really good
no-grits texture and are juicy and flavorful. The guy who sold me my
three pears said they are all zone 3. He has a nursery in Helena
Montana.
