European Pear : SUNRISE Semi-Dwarf (OHxF87)

$53.95

In stock

This large, attractive, yellow pear is aptly named, as it is one of the first to ripen. Juicy and aromatic, with a sweet, pleasant flavour for fresh eating or desserts. Sunrise stores surprisingly well for an early pear. It will keep 2-3 months in the refrigerator. Disease resistance, including fireblight, is excellent too.

NEEDS A POLLENIZER | ZONE 4/5 | HARVEST: MID AUG.

European Product Overview

Pears (Pyrus communis)
Pears are a great compliment to any home orchard. They usually require less maintenance than other fruit as far as pruning and spraying and tolerate heavy clay soils. Most pear orchards are gone, so Canada must import millions of pounds every years just to meet the present consumer demand. We chose this interesting collection of pears for their wonderful quality of fruit and because they are among the easiest for orchardists to grow organically.

Growing Tips

Pear Pollination Growing Tip

All European (regular) and Asian pears will pollinate each other providing their bloom times overlap. Generally you can go by the expected harvest time, meaning only the very early and the very late might not be compatible with each other. However, since Asian pears, on average, bloom earlier than Europeans, you might pair an early European with a mid or late Asian.
