Its the State Fruit with, but the one variety that fits the ticket for the flavors being oregon, the look being like the red of an oak, and performance would be the best in the nation. People would laughably refer to them as "Red Hood Pears" (Little Red Riding Hood) and that is what some call it from the orchards of Mount Hood, but they are also known to come from what people referred to as "Hood Orchards". These Red Hood Pears are juicy when ripe, deep maroon-red, white-fleshed, sweet with hints at a refreshing lemon-lime flavor. It has a Red look to them and are distinctly from the United States and renown as an Oregon Fruit. In Gebhard Orchard (1950s. Jackson County), Medford, Oregon, a farmer family "The Gebhards" noticed a single branch on a standard Green Anjou tree was growing deep maroon-red fruit. This would and it was further developed over a span of 12-years by by Eugene C. Euwer to have a red of his own, the Colombia Red Anjou Pear (1976-1988) that added the Lemon-Lime and rich-taste from volcanic soil. The ones who popularized and diversified this to become an oregon staple fruit would be the at "Kiyokawa Family Orchards" (Riichi Kiyokawa. 1911. While there are now many fruits growing in the Fruit Basket of Oregon, the one they are usually referring to is the famed  for their Apples and Pears that come from Mount Hood.
