Two types of pears can be grown in Virginia.European pears (Pyrus communis) are the type most commonly seen in the supermarkets. Common varieties include 'Bartlett', D'Anjou', 'Bosc' and 'Comice'. These pears are picked when mature but before they are ripe, then they are exposed to a chilling period, and then ripened. The flesh of the ripe fruit is usually soft and mealy.Asian pears were developed from several Pyrus species, but are usually considered to belong to the genus Pyrus and the species serotina. Asian pears are sometimes marketed as "Sand pears", "Chinese pears", "Japanese pears", or "apple pears". Asian pears are usually fairly round and ripen on the tree. The flesh is usually white, crisp, sweet, and juicy. Asian pears are best eaten after being held in the refrigerator for a day or two. Then the fruit is peeled, cored, and sliced.
The worms that you find in apples, pears and Asian pears are either apple maggots or coddling moth larvae
