Pear harvest in full swing

It’s harvest time again in the Netherlands! With the sudden warm, sunny weather, our growers are making extra haste in picking this year. This is how we keep the quality of the mature fruit good.

So the picking conditions are particularly good this year. As we grew, we experienced variable weather – from a hot and dry spring to wet, relatively cold summer weeks. As a result, the pears are slightly more bronze coloured than last season but fine in quality and size. The volume on trees this year is normal; a little smaller for the Netherlands and a little higher for Belgium than in 2022.

Meanwhile, there is already plenty of new harvest of Triomphe de Vienne available. Conference is also already readily available. Currently, the various varieties are in full harvest, including the exclusive Staay club varieties Early Desire and Red Conference. Our club variety Dazzling Gold will be harvested in a few weeks (mid-October).
