"Ecos pears were developed from a single tree in Michigan whose Pakistani origins crossed with neighboring Asian and European pears creating this massive genetic mix. Fruits vary from 1-3 inch in size. Fruit is tart and delicious processed into sauce. Tolerant to every soil type except wet. Often used for deer and birds. Some fruits remains in good condition until November and December. Others degrade quickly dropping starting in early September. Some of the selections will stay hung up in  the trees throughout December and January where winter birds eat them as the fruits blet and become mush like. The fruits are also used Processed into jam, jelly or drink, the flavors are similar to a quince mixed with crabapple."
