All time favorite pear! Must pick then store correctly for weeks before they are ready to eat but they are worth the trouble. Delectable!

Previous note by Sunny M on June 8, 2019 says these pears must be picked and stored correctly for weeks before they are ready to eat. What does this mean?
Addie L on Aug 16, 2019
BEST ANSWER: No European pears ripen on the tree; you must pick them prior to ripening and let them mature off the tree. Here is an article in our Growing Guide about harvesting pears: https://www.starkbros.com/growing-guide/article/pears-ready-to-harvest
When do I pick my Comice pears?
Janet A on Oct 26, 2019
BEST ANSWER: About Sept 28 in my part of Wisconsin. Pick them when mature but not ripe, then store in the refrigerator for 30 days, remove to a 70 degree room until they are ripe. This avoids wasp, lady bug, crow, etc damage and also provides great tasting pears - the very best pears!
