Comice pears contain a famously outstanding flavor and many growers consider them to be a premium pear cultivar. It's easy to see why after eating them fresh off the tree. The delicate fruit is green and puts on pink streaks as it ripens, also becoming so soft that it can be eaten with just a spoon. This is the most common choice of pear for elegant fruit baskets, often given as presents around Christmas, earning Comice the nickname Christmas Pear. Planting a Comice Pear tree adds a touch of modern fruit-growing culture to a landscape, which will be enjoyed for years to come.
