When does the pear ripen?

Pears generally ripen in July and August, and are harvested from early September to late June 10.

Judging from the habit of flowering and fruiting, pear buds are easy to form and generally bear fruit in time, especially varieties with high germination rate and low branching ability or varieties with vigorous axillary buds bear fruit earlier. The fruiting branch of pear is actually a kind of fruiting mother branch, which can be divided into four different types: long fruit branch, middle fruit branch, short fruit branch and axillary flower bud branch.

Adult pear trees mainly bear short fruit branches. After flowering and fruiting, the new fruit branches expand to form a fruit platform, on which 1 ~ 3 fruit platform auxiliary branches are produced. When conditions are good, flower buds can be formed continuously, but they often form again in the second year of fruiting and bear fruit every other year.
