when should i harvest perry pears? (to make pear cider) – in the UK btw?

i have searched all over the internet, and get no information about when to harvest them, only when to buy or how to make perry! (AKA pear cider)

Every single year we watch our pear tree grow pears-a-plenty, and it wasnt until this year we discovered they were not for eating, but for fermenting! (which explains why they used to fall off before growing much bigger, attracted wasps and butterflies and got them drunk!)

i’d be very grateful if somebody can find this out before they all fall off the tree, we have a beer garden outside now (converted our house into a wine bar and bistro) and wouldnt want our customers being stung by wasps!

i am also going to post a question about when to harvest walnuts, we have a huge walnut tree, a rarity in our area and would like to harvest them before the squirrels nick them all!

thanks for all your help people,
White Wolf =]

I normally pick mine in late august early september but I am in Scotland, I do know that down in the south of England they tend to ripen quicker.
