When Do Apple Pears Ripen? A Detailed Guide to the Ripening Period and Harvest Time

Yanbian apple pear belongs to the white pear system and is one of China's fine pear varieties, mainly produced in the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture of Jilin Province. Let's learn about when apple pears ripen.

Apple pear trees bloom in mid-May each year, and the fruit ripens from late September to early October. Young trees bear fruit after 4—5 years of growth, and enter full bearing from 8—9 years. The pears are large, with an average single fruit weight of 254.31—238.78 grams, and the largest can reach 700 grams. The skin is yellow-green, turning bright yellow after storage, with a bright red blush on the sunny side; the yellow and red set each other off, and the entire fruit surface is speckled with light-colored russet spots, making it even more brilliant and eye-catching. The flesh is pure white and delicate, the core is small, the fruit is juicy and rich, and the taste is sweet.
