Has anyone here ever heard of a "Pineapple Pear"? I once stayed at a home in Palacious, Texas that had 2 large pecan trees, 2 plumb trees and 3 pear trees. Two of the pears I think were Bartlett. I was told the third was a Pineapple Pear. The tree itself was 20' plus and the pears were almost the size of Texas Red Ruby Grapefruit and every bit as juicy. You had to hold a napkin under your chin or lean over the sink to eat one. They were more apple shaped than pear also.
