Pear “Packham’s Triumph” is also known as Packham’s Triumph Pear and is a popular, all-purpose pear variety known for its large, mid-season fruit with excellent storage qualities. It’s a reliable bearer, and while it’s a good dessert pear, it also excels in cooking and bottling. Packham’s Triumph requires a good amount of chilling hours to set fruit, making it suitable for cooler climates.
