Greetings:

I thought I would post some of my fabulous fruit photos of
2013 crop. Unfortunately one of my daughters deleted them all by accident from the digital camera. Perhaps next year.

At my local grocery store I just purchased some Comice and Concorde pears. I am familiar with Comice but Concorde was new to me. It had a very firm texture but
was one of the sweetest pears I have ever eaten except for
Seckel.

Since I like my ripe pears to be firm but sweet, this variety
really got me excited. I see on the internet that it is a cross
of Conference and Comice. Has anyone had good results
growing it in the Midwest? Hate to plant one if it will not
do well in SE Wisconsin.

Hi Spartan, though I live in New England, I asked the forum the same question this past spring. I found out we can grow it but the tree is very slow to fruit. It is a beauty and I believe the pear I would prefer is Abbe Fetel. Look it up. Is is not hard, like a seckel, but very sweet and delish. The A F takes a long while to fruit as well. They are such elegant looking pears. Mrs. G

Concorde when fully ripe is soft.
