Forelle Pears

Flamingo is an early season pear variety from the Southern Hemisphere first developed in South Africa and now grown with substantial commercial volume in Chile. It is a cross between a Bon Rouge and a Forelle pear.

The variety has an attractive ruby red blush over a green/yellow skin coloring; the juicy sweet white interior fruit has a crisp-firm texture. All pears can be enjoyed fresh or used for cooking, baking, or canning.
