Four pears featuring various degrees of russeting
Russeting or russetting is an abnormality of fruit skin which manifests in russet-colored (brownish) patches that are rougher than healthy skin. It is a common feature in apples and pears. Russeting is typically an undesirable trait, which reduces the storage life of fruits and makes their appearance unattractive to consumers,[1] although some cultivars, so-called russet apples, are appreciated for the feature.
