ripe
How do you know when these pears are ripe? 65.167.146.130 (talk) 20:29, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Origin of name
The article needs to say something about the etymology of "Bosc". Is this pear named for a person, or a region, or...? 76.189.153.196 (talk) 23:14, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

== Countries grown =

I would add Argentina to the list of countries growing Bosc pears. I was not able to find an "Edit" link on the section of the article where this information appears, so I am adding it here. I am in the USA and I just bought some pears in a regular supermarket that say "Salentein Beurre [no accent] Bosc." Here is the website of Salentein, the grower: http://www.salentein.com/cas/fruit/en/productos.html. Printphi (talk) 01:33, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

Bosc and varieties
The article does not specify properly the fact that the regular bosc pear is different from its variety named beurre bosc. It states both as equal, while in truth its the regular bosc pear that has hard flesh and crisp taste known as the aristocrat of pears while beurre bosc is actually a sub variety (that probably is part hybrid with other type of pear) that is different from the regular bosc pear in that as the name beurre bosc states the flesh is buttery soft and the taste smooth which would make it like the buttery version of the hard fleshed regular bosc pear. 2806:107E:19:5D50:51D8:A9A6:6E70:8CFD (talk) 19:06, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
