| Corella (Forelle) | Pear | Attractive red-skinned flesh with a background colour that starts out green and turns yellow when ripe. Fruit is medium size, | Fruit needs to get enough sunshine to get a good red colour, which you can manage with pruning. Good croppers, but can be susceptible to pre-harvest drop. Tree habit is quite upright and vigorous, spur bearing. Fruit should be picked when mature but not ripe, and ripened off the tree. | Fruit with lenticels (which Corella are known for) can be more vulnerable to fungal and bacterial diseases, which can enter through the lenticels, but Corella are not known for any specific susceptibilities. |
