孟津梨有一千多年的歷史，傳說由晉皇宮芳林苑傳出。晉朝潘岳“靈囿繁石榴，茂林列芳梨”的詩句中所指，就是如今的孟津梨。質優味甜，芳香怡神，故稱“芳梨”。 孟津梨歷史悠久，能與其媲美者甚少。
        
    孟津梨色艷味美，皮薄質細。汁多渣少，酸甜適度，清脆可口，早熟耐貯，久負盛名。孟津梨遠銷港、澳、印尼、馬來西亞、斯里蘭卡、新加坡等十幾個國家和地區，被譽為“洛陽金桔”和“中國金桔”。
       
    孟津梨主要品種有伏梨（金屁股、馬蹄酥、馬蹄黃、青皮伏等）和秋梨（金平梨、豬嘴梨、白梨、秋落白等）兩大類。
      
    天生伏梨，為孟津梨的當家品種，就是傳說中的貢梨。別看樣子不強，果點小，單果重200克左右，最大可達300克。果肉鮮美，汁多，味甜，石細胞少，質地細脆，落地即酥。所以又叫“雪花脆”，也叫“落花酥”。被譽為“洛陽金桔”。長得雖不周正，吃著確實香甜。果肉細膩，入嘴就化，更兼汁水多且甜，咬過的地方直往外流水兒，水兒滴到地上，能凝結成晶瑩的糖粒兒。肉細、汁多、渣少、清脆、香甜、甘美，能讓你把犁核都吃完，還舍不得丟掉。
