Pyrus communis Luscious

Luscious Pear Tree

A variety of pear tree that produces soft, juicy and very sweet fruit. The pears are medium to large in size, with smooth greenish-yellow skin that turns golden and reddish as the fruit matures. The flesh is melting, sweet and slightly tart, making it an excellent choice for fresh consumption, desserts or preserves. This pear tree is self-sterile, meaning that it requires the presence of another pear variety flowering at the same time to ensure cross-pollination and good fruit production. It usually begins to produce fruit about 4 to 5 years after planting. It tolerates dry periods well once well established, but regular watering is recommended, especially during fruit growth, to ensure a good harvest. It is also important to prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead branches and promote good structure.
