Markon First Crop Washington D’Anjou Pears will be available through late July.
Washington
- Quality is excellent in remaining storage supplies
- Stocks are dominated by 90- and 100-count sizes
- 110-count and smaller pears are limited
California
- The new crop California Bartlett season will begin in early July
- Growers pack and sell by the count as opposed to the volume-fill method used in Washington
- California suppliers ship 40-pound packs; Washington growers use 44-pound cartons
- Due to this pack difference, California ships approximately 6 to 10 fewer pieces of fruit per unit compared to Washington
- The attached photos show Washington and California pear packs
