We're well-known for growing a lot of pears, and naturally, some of our Royal Riviera® Pears don't meet the premium standard we use for the gold foil-wrapped pears we put in our gift baskets and towers. Sometimes there aren't enough leaves to protect them from the sun, and they get a little redder than others. Sometimes they grow too close to the branch and have a funny shape. However unique these Royal Riviera® Pears look on the outside, on the inside they're just as juicy and sweet as their more photogenic siblings
