Pineapple Pear Tree

Your Pineapple Pear Tree (Pyrus 'Pineapple') is an incredibly unique choice for a Pear Tree that is pretty, provides a terrific harvest, and is easy to grow. It can stand up to a lot of challenges and still put on a good show.

Pineapple Pear not only creates a magical spring display of delicate, white flowers from early to late spring but maintains a vibrant, green appearance throughout the summer months.

When July rolls around, your Pineapple Pear tree begins to offer up some of its sumptuous fruit, providing you with a harvest from July to August. Each large pear possesses green coloring with russet overtones and a slight, scarlet-red blush.

The Pineapple Pear tree produces bushels of hard pears, with crisp flesh that is well suited to preserves, pear butter or tasty right off the tree. The flesh has a grainier nature than some, with a flavor that has been described as tangy with hints of pineapple and apple.

It's a unique pear to be sure!
