The pears are removed from the tree about a week before they are fully ripe - this allows their shelf life to be extended to 2 months.

Harvests from a young tree are obtained several years after planting. From a 6-7 year old tree, up to 20 kg of pears are obtained per season. An adult tree brings 45 - 60 kg of pears per year, and under favorable conditions, the figure can reach 100 - 110 kg.
