D’Anjou Pear Tree – Pyrus communis ‘D’Anjou’

D’Anjou Pear is a classic European pear variety known for its smooth green skin, dense juicy flesh, and excellent storage quality. Also called Anjou Pear, this variety is popular for fresh eating, baking, poaching, roasting, salads, and winter pear storage.

D’Anjou pears are different from some Southern hard pears because they are a traditional dessert pear with a smooth texture and mild sweet flavor when properly ripened. The fruit usually stays green as it ripens, so ripeness is often checked by gently pressing near the stem instead of waiting for a color change.
