The Summercrisp Pear (Pyrus 'Summercrisp') is an upright robust slow growing pear tree. A very cold hardy prolific variety that produces crisp, juicy fruits with mild flavor, making them a perfect garden companion for fresh eating. Summercrisp produces small dessert pears that are super-sweet with a hint of spice.
Harvest and eat early (August) while flesh is firm. Fruit stores best when picked early, pick and consume at the green/ripe stage when the fruit is crispy and not fully ripe. The fruit quality decreases rapidly when allowed to fully ripen. Stores for up to 3 weeks in refrigerator.
