Ripening Temperatures. After the chill period, pears ripen best between 65 and 75 degrees F. Oregon State University Extension indicates that Bartlett pears take only four to five days to ripen, while Anjou takes up to 10 days. Both Bosc and Comice pears need between five and seven days to ripen. The days indicated for ripening are a guide but not law. Pears ripen faster when they get a longer chill period and take longer if the chill period was cut short. The best way to tell is to press your finger into the flesh near the stem.
When is a Pear Ready to Pick? My Pearâs are nearly ready to be picked. They should be ready in late August or early September and I know that I should really pick them when they are unripe and ripen them indoors for the best results. The trick is knowing when to harvest them, even though they are still unripe. If the Pear is difficult to pull of the tree, it isnât ready.
