Deep Purple Pear

Today's post is about a simple piece of fruit, the Deep Purple Pear.

If you do a Google search , you won't find anything about this delicious fruit. However you will find there is a purple pear tomato on earth, it does have some

Not the Deep Purple Pear

purple coloring but it really isn't purple. It does taste pretty good for a tomato but it's not like you're going to have a bowl of them sitting next to you on your deck or patio eating one after another.

I also found Purple Pear Amethysts but they're not edible, although it would be nice to have a few pounds of them.

In my search I did find other references to Purple Pears (nothing related to fruit) but nowhere (except here) will you find information on Deep Purple Pears.

These pears are about the size of an average standard avocado. The smooth skin is of course purple as is the flesh of the fruit. Nestled inside the flesh of the fruit is one pea size edible seed.

The sweet nectar of the pear will make your mouth water in anticipation, it is so refreshing leaving a slight flowery (only word to best describe) after taste.

So where can you get this heavenly fruit? Well not at your corner grocery store or your local farmers market. This fruit is not found locally no matter where you live. Unless, you are an inhabitant of the Planet Ralam.

Not familiar with the Planet Ralam?

According to the book “Rebirth” which is Book 1 of the E.L.F. Saga the Deep Purple Pear is yet to be discovered anywhere outside the Planet Ralam. Surprisingly Rebirth does not go into much more detail then you have so far read, but there is more.

With intense care a Deep Purple Pear tree can be grown on the planet (Ralam). However it is difficult and takes many, many years to mature. The only place where the trees thrive on their own is the Valley of Gorth.

This extremely fertile valley is 23 miles long and 17 miles wide. At the north end of the valley are the Gorth Mountains. The Gorth range is constantly covered in snow at its

higher elevations. No one has ever remembered or heard of the mountains being snow free. There are two main rivers that run off the mountains, the largest is named Eltnes and disappears about halfway into the valley. The much smaller and slower moving river is named Noey and flows along the entire east side of the valley.

There are many ancient myths about the Valley of Gorth and like things that are ancient the truth has been lost centuries before. All anyone can agree on is that the Deep Purple Trees appeared to have been in the valley since the beginning (no one can agree when that was).

What is known; the trees can grow up to 25 feet, however they are kept trimmed to 17 feet to maximize yields. The trees bear fruit one hundred and thirty-two days a year, goes dormant for one hundred and seventy-three days before it starts to bud again.

The trunks of the trees are black and gnarled as it twists skyward, the branches from the trunk are black but the new growth is red, upon these branches the fruit grows.

Why would anyone want to know about the Deep Purple Pear? Most folks wouldn't care but what about those who really enjoy the story, who get caught up in the worlds they are taken to?

From time to time I will add more details found nowhere else but here about all things E.L.F.

The E.L.F. Saga is already three books in length, with the fourth about 40% complete. This is a story that follows different groups, each in their quest for power or freedom. Spoiler alert; There are no pointy ear people. E.L.F. Stands for extra terrestrial life forms.

For those who may have developed a craving for a Deep Purple Pear, I'm sorry, but be thankful I didn't talk about Spili … it's found in Book 2 “Reunion”
