Golden Russet Bosc Pear Tree

Golden Russet Bosc is the classic fall pear in its most elegant form — the quintessential elongated Bosc shape with warm russet brown skin and smooth yellowish-white flesh that’s sweet, firm, and genuinely versatile across every culinary application. Discovered in an orchard in Oregon, it delivers everything that makes Bosc pears so beloved: the distinctive appearance, the firm flesh that holds its shape beautifully when baked and roasted, and the sweet, mellow flavor that pairs so perfectly with cheese, wine, and rich fall dishes. Organic options available. Late September ripening in Zones 5–9.

The Classic Bosc — Beautiful, Firm, and Endlessly Versatile

Golden Russet Bosc’s culinary versatility is what defines its place in the kitchen. The firm flesh resists breaking down under heat, making it the pear of choice for baking, poaching, roasting, and any cooked application where a pear needs to maintain its shape and deliver flavor through the process. For fresh eating, the sweet, mellow character and satisfying firm bite make it one of the most enjoyable dessert pears. And with cheese — blue cheese, aged cheddar, brie — it achieves the kind of pairing that makes people close their eyes for a moment.

Warm Russet Brown Skin — Distinctive and Beautiful

Golden Russet Bosc’s appearance is as distinctive as its flavor. The warm, earthy russet brown skin over the classic elongated Bosc form makes it one of the most visually recognizable and attractive pears at harvest — a beautiful fruit at the table and in any kitchen display. The yellowish-white flesh inside is smooth, firm, and consistent from early in the harvest window through the extended storage period that late September pears typically allow.

Discovered in Oregon — A Western Find With Wide Appeal

Discovered in an Oregon orchard, Golden Russet Bosc has proven itself well beyond its Pacific Northwest origins — thriving across Zones 5–9 and delivering consistent late September harvests for home orchardists who want the classic Bosc experience from their own trees.
