All I have this date Aus.27 to pick pears and put in pantry soft take a week to ripen hard take two weeks to ripen. If leave on tree past this date you see on forum people complaining Deer got my Pears what deer does is first to ripen they pick up on that and then feed on rest if to green for them they take small bite out pear three nights later pear be eaten. You wise to pick pears today.
