Parker Pear is fast-growing but may live for decades – though they may take a few years to flower. Insect pollinators visit the blossoms, and the fruit appeals to wildlife. It’s best to pick the fruit while still firm and store indoors. Parker can be enjoyed eaten fresh or cooked. Patten Pear is an excellent pollinator and produces a mild but flavorful pear. Patten is a European type pear with a firm texture at harvest that develops to a soft texture and sweet flavor with time. Patten produces a yellow pear that ripens in late September. Patten Pear is best enjoyed fresh but can hold up to baking.
