Etymology:
Named after Louis Augustin Guillaume Bosc (1759-1828), a Belgian
horticulturist.
The
Bosc pear is considered a “winter” pear. It’s a
relatively difficult pear to produce in the home garden. In order
to do it you should pick them in early to mid September, store
for six to eight weeks in very cool conditions – about
35-40 degrees, then bring them out to room temperature to ripen.
To check for ripeness, press your thumb against the neck. If it
starts to feel slightly soft, it’s ready to eat.
