European pears are usually harvested in a green stage and allowed to ripen at room temperature. Asian pears will be crisp and juicy, with some tartness, especially near the core. European pears will be soft and juicy, with a sweeter, more mellow taste. Many Asian pear cultivars are available.
Peach harvest continues all the way into late September. Some parts of the country begin enjoying tree-ripe peaches as early as the first part of May. No other fruit is harvested over such a long period of time. Dave Wilson Nursery offers peach selections suited for climates throughout the United States.
