DWARF Pear – Duchess

Duchess pears are medium to large-sized fruits that have a globular, oval, bulbous, to ovate shape, depending on the individual variety and whether it is classified as a summer or winter pear. Summer Duchess pears have thin, light green to yellow skin with prominent lenticels, while Winter Duchess pears have smooth, yellow skin with light pink to red blushing. Underneath the skin, both types of pears have an aqueous, cream-colored to white, soft flesh. Duchess pears, when ripe, are highly aromatic with a sweet, honey-like taste mixed with subtle tangy notes.
