Migo is a slender pyriform pear with a pale green-yellow skin and white flesh. The fruit can be eaten in a crisp or softening condition. The flavour has a subtle candy note and there is slight acidity with good sweetness which adds to the appeal of this variety. It is good to eat when crisp and appears to maintain a fairly firm texture without much softening, unlike Conference or Concorde. The texture of the flesh is unusually light in the mouth. The skin is thin and without much russet, so is quite acceptable to eat without peeling.
Migo is very similar to Conference in many respects but has a smoother skin with less russeting.
