Pyrus Humbug
Humbug Pear Tree
Common Name: Humbug Pear Tree Latin Name: Pyrus ‘Humbug’ Soil: Fertile, well-drained soil Position: Full sun Fruit picking time: October Fruit size/colour: Medium/ vertical stripes of green and yellow Pollination group: 3 The ‘Humbug’ is aptly named, due to its highly distinctive green and yellow striped skin. This wonderful variety of pear has a thicker skin than most pears, making is great for storing. In fact, this was formally known as the ‘Easter pear’ as traditionally it would be stored over winter and used as part of Easter celebrations. We would recommend picking in October and storing them to ripen for at least 2 months: they are sweet and juicy once ripe and their thick skin makes them perfect for cooking, too, as they hold together well.
