The Pyrus communis 'Doyenne du Comice', known as the Comice Pear Tree, is regarded as one of the finest dessert pears in the world. First introduced in France in the 1840s, Comice is celebrated for its large, rounded fruits with tender, melting flesh and an exceptionally rich, sweet flavour. Though not the heaviest cropper, its outstanding taste and juicy texture make it a true gourmet pear, often considered the "champagne of pears." A beautiful tree with fragrant spring blossom, Comice is an elegant addition to any orchard or garden.
