Pyrus Doyenne du Comice - Eating Pears
A Doyenne du Comice pear is one of the most delicious dessert pears. Comice pears are best picked when still green and ripened indoors. The speed at which they do so is dictated by the temperature at which they are keptwith a little planning you can put fresh, ripe pears on the table on Christmas Day.
Doyenne du Comice pears need a pollinator and we would recommend either Williams Bon Chretien or an ornamental pear such as Pyrus salifolia Pendula.

Doyenne du Comice is also an excellent pear for frost pockets as it flowers later than most.
