It's vital to know the exact time you should harvest pears because pears are ready to be picked when they're fully formed, not when they're ripe on the tree. Leave them until they're ripe and you may have left it too late to harvest your fruit. For this reason, you'll need to keep a close eye on your pears to know exactly when to harvest them.
One of the best fruit trees to grow, pears are also amongst the easiest trees to espalier, too. Pear trees are also one of the best fruit trees to grow in pots. So what's not to love, other than missing the harvesting season and not getting the best pick of the crop?
