According the information I found on the internet, the harvest time for the fruits is mid-August, Does this mean they become totally ripened at that time? or it is time to pick them up, and bring inside the house - to prevent insect damage ? I pick Heifers while they are still firm but changing color. We can ours so they need to be firm anyway to can. We usually can over a 2 week period. Tom J Tom, I started to see some of the fruits got damaged by insects already. Do you have such problem on yours? I picked one yesterday, and it appeared to taste almost ready -- sweet taste !! Perhaps , that is the reason why there is issues with insects? I've never had a bad insect problem. just a worn once in a while. If you have a sweet taste already & fully formed pears, I'd say it's picking time!! My Kiefers are not through growing yet. Note correct spelling of the Kiefer. Tom J |
