  1. The Ayers Pear is a cultivar that was developed in the United States. It was introduced in 1949 by the USDA Agricultural Research Service.

  2. Fruit: The Ayers Pear produces medium to large-sized fruits that have a round to slightly elongated shape. The skin is smooth and yellow, sometimes with a slight blush of red. The flesh is juicy, sweet, and creamy in texture. It is considered a dessert pear and is delicious when eaten fresh.

  3. Harvest Time: The Ayers Pear is typically harvested in late summer to early fall, depending on the region and growing conditions. It's important to pick the pears when they are mature but still firm, as they will continue to ripen off the tree.
