Invincible is one of the hardiest pear varieties, good for difficult situations which other pears would not tolerate. The fruit can be kept for a few months in store.
The flavor is not quite as refined as Comice, which is considered the best flavored of all pears, but it is still very acceptable - certainly better than you would normally find in most shop-bought pears. It is sweet and juicy, with a hint of violet.
Deliveries available until February 2020.

Pears tend to come into blossom quite early in the spring, putting the blossom at risk from late frosts. If this happens Invincible, unusually, will often produce a second set of blossom.
Invincible is also unique in that it comes into bearing at a younger age than most other pear varieties, 2-3 years instead of 4 years or more.
Delbard nursery, France, 20th century. Sometimes known as Fertilia.
