About the product:
Williams Bon Chretein (WBC) or also known as the Bartlett Pear, these variety of pear is to die for. Large long necked, green-yellow fruit, that is ideal for eating and bottling.
Williams pears are medium to large in size and have a true pyriform, or pear shape, which has a large rounded base that tapers to a smaller curved neck with a light brown stem. The thin skin brightens as it ripens, transforming from green to a golden yellow, and is smooth and firm with some blushing and russeting. The flesh is aromatic, moist, cream-colored to ivory, and is fine-grained encasing a central core containing a few small, black-brown seeds. When mature but not fully ripe, Williams pears are crunchy, tart, and slightly gritty, but when fully ripe, they develop a juicy, smooth, buttery texture with a sweet flavor.
Season:
Fruit will naturally fall in February and will keep up to 3 months. Good pollinator. Early season.
