Pears will ripen off the tree but is it necessary? How do you know the best
time to pick them? What happens if you leave them too long?

Didn't you ask this question last year?
I recall answering such a question last year and going back and forth about
how to pick the right time to pick them.
And yes, they do need to be picked and ripened off the tree. The trick is
how to do that. I gave a fulsome answer on that in last year's response but
it's just too hot to go through the same thing all over again.

Yes, didn't get a sensible answer.

Well that's clear. Anyone who had anything to say on the topic last year
knows not to bother again.
