So Sweet Pear

So Sweet lives up to its name as one of the sweetest pears we offer!

These delicious pears are great for fresh eating and good for processing into preserves and jams. The pears are smaller round-shaped and typically weigh around 90 grams. The So Sweet Pear tree can start bearing fruit as young as five years of age and is a productive tree when it reaches maturity. The pears ripen around mid to late August and will keep for under one month in cold storage. This tree is also self-fertile but will produce considerably more if planted with another pear tree nearby.
