Franchi Red Pear produced some big fruits for me. The larger ones were about the size in the video. It also produced medium and small fruits--not a consistent producer size-wise. So I think the farm in the video is either growing a hybrid, or those are the fruit they've sorted for large size.

EDIT: Or maybe they're culling later fruit on the trusses to encourage the earlier ones on each truss to get bigger?
