Pyrus communis Summercrisp

Summercrisp Pear Tree

A variety of pear known for its crisp, juicy and slightly tart fruit. The medium-sized pears have a light green skin that turns yellow when ripe. The flesh is firm and crisp, making it ideal for eating fresh or for making compotes and pies. This pear tree is self-sterile, meaning it requires another pear variety to ensure cross-pollination. It usually begins to produce fruit about 4-5 years after planting. It is recommended to plant it with another variety that flowers simultaneously to maximize production. Although it is relatively drought-tolerant once established, regular watering during the fruit growing season is essential for an optimal harvest. In winter, it is advisable to prune the tree at the end of the season to remove dead or diseased branches and encourage healthy growth.
