Why did you choose this?
Stark Bro'sStore

Because these are my favorite pears!

TERI B

This is the world's best tasting pear in my opinion!

Theresa N

I lost a different type of pear that I had purchased from Stark, and going to try the Comice pear.

Deborah M

Good reputation - also a suitable pollinator for Red D'Anjou, which I already have.

Nancy N
When do I pick my Comice pears?
JANET A

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!

PEDER H
Will Seckel and Comice be good pollinators for one another?
Wendy G

I really do not know. I would go with Stark's recommendations, whenever possible. That is why I bought a moonglow also. Sorry.

PEDER H
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.

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
