Red Fleshed Pears
« on: April 29, 2023, 08:29:22 PM »
Hello,

My Joey's Red Fleshed Pear is flowering for the first time this year and has me excited. I grafted this back in '17 or '18 so it's taken some time.

Is anyone else growing any red fleshed pears? What are your thoughts?

Interesting - reading online it seems some say it has some cinnamon flavor. The only flavor note I've heard about Joey's is lilac notes - excited to hopefully try.

I'm curious if anyone is growing other varieties? e.g 'Cocomerina', 'Sanguinole', or 'Vérbélü Körte'
