Harrow Sweet Pear
Min. Caliper: 5/8"
Root Stock: OHxF 97
Harrow Sweet Pear (Pyrus communis)
Late-seasoned yellow pear known for its great flavor and reliable productivity - bears fruit within 2 to 3 years.
Harrow Sweet Pear is a vigorous, late-season pear known for its exceptional flavor, fireblight resistance, and reliable productivity. Its yellow pears develop a red blush with some russeting and are harvested throughout October. Highly precocious, this tree begins bearing fruit within two to three years and produces abundant annual harvests. The Harrow Sweet pear tree requires cross-pollination from another compatible pear tree to produce fruit, like the Seckel Pear (for sale this year too!)
Requirements:
Light: Full sun
Soil: Well-drained, moderately fertile soil; tolerates a range of conditions
Key Features:
Mature Size: 20+ feet tall
Wildlife Value: Provides late-season fruit for pollinators and wildlife; compatible with Seckel Pear for cross-pollination
Plant Care:
Harrow Sweet Pear thrives in full sun. It is highly resistant to fireblight and mildew but somewhat susceptible to pear scab. Thin fruit annually to maintain size and prevent biennial bearing. Best suited for home orchards or landscapes seeking a hardy, flavorful pear variety with reliable yields and excellent storage quality.
