The Packham pear is a medium to large-sized, irregularly shaped, rounded pear with a wide base, a smaller, round neck, and a slender, dark brown stem. Its skin changes from green to pale yellow when ripe, and is covered in patches of russeting, prominent lenticels, and small, smooth bumps. The flesh is white or ivory-coloured, fine-grained and soft, with a few black-brown seeds in the core. When ripe, the Packham pear is juicy and creamy, with a sweet, aromatic flavour.
