These pears have been growing in the United States since 1799. They were named after Enoch Bartlett who first found these delicious fruits growing in his backyard. They are soft, juicy, and sweet. Perfect for eating raw.  Bosc pears are firmer and have brown skin, unlike other pears that are yellow or green when they are ripe. Some of them are a bit spicy and sweet and they all have crispy flesh, perfect for baking and cooking pies and other desserts.
