PEAR FACT:
If left on the tree, pears will never ripen.

HOW ABOUT THAT?

This is bollocks though
Pears do ripen on the tree just from the inside, which means they turn in to an inedible mush long before they look it from the outside, this can be avoided by picking them early so they ripen from the outside in.
