A Pear with a History!
An unusual thing happened one day when a grower 
was out harvesting his crop in New Zealand. As he was picking his Pears, he saw something strange and different sprinkled throughout his tree. It wasn't anything like the Green Colored Bartletts that he had been picking all morning long. These were Russet-Golden like in Color; Plump,Short and Round. And it had an Elongated Neck. How odd this was. He picked it, tried it, and liked what he tasted. When a different variety of fruit appears "Out of Nowhere", it's referred to as a "Chance Seedling", or a "Natural Mutation". Through good old fashioned Grafting techniques, the grower created a tree of its own. He called this newly found fruit the "Taylor Gold Pear".
Taylor Gold Pears have a Rich and Sweet taste, and are Extremely Juicy. And they have a Creamy and tender interior. Taylor Gold's are firm, so they are not only good for eating out of hand, but hold up well when cooking and baking as well. The Taylor Gold Pear is the latest variety of just three In-Season Pears that are currently available in the United States this time of the year.
