Lots of pears start out this colour when very small, perhaps Anjou also.

First time they did this in the 4 years I have them Weird?!?

Hello Konrad, nope we have not cut any trees or no particularly more sunshine. Actually Ottawa has had more clouds and rain than usual. Interesting isn't it?

Our Anjou fruitlets are also red. This is the first year this pear tree bears fruit so we don't know what the final colour will be. The tag that came with the tree showed a green pear. We also have a Bartlett growing next to the Anjou, this one has green fruitlets.

Jeffrey, what other pear tree(s) do you have to pollinate your Anjou? Are you sure you're remembering everything correctly?

I am 100% sure it's an Anjou. I have a multi grafted pear next to it. It has Bartlett, Conference

My point was we both have Anjou pear trees with red fruitlets, I think it's normal and there's nothing weird going on with either trees. What's weird is that you remember the fruitlets being traditionally green in previous years. You wouldn't happen to have a photo or something to back up your recollection?
