Red Anjou and Green Anjou are varieties of which fruit?
The D'Anjou pear, sometimes referred to as the Beurré d'Anjou or simply Anjou, is a short-necked cultivar of European pear. It is thought to have originated in the mid-19th century, in Belgium or France.
The two cultivars that comprise d'Anjou pears are the 'Green Anjou' pear and the 'Red Anjou' pear. The 'Green Anjou' pear has a pale green skin that does not change color as the pear ripens, unlike most other cultivars of green pears, which turn yellow as they ripen. The 'Red Anjou' pear originated as naturally occurring bud sport found on 'Green Anjou' trees. In botany, a sport or bud sport is a part of a plant that shows morphological differences from the rest of the plant. 'Red Anjou' pears are very similar to the original Anjou other than color.
The d'Anjou is considered a medium to large pear and has a wide, globular base, short stem, and thin skin.
