European Pear : SIERRA Large Semi-Dwarf (OHxF97) (Orchard Grade)

An 'orchard grade' is a tree that may be somewhat shorter, slightly crooked, or a bit scratched, or for some other reason is not a perfect front lawn specimen. These trees will work just as well in an orchard as a first or number one would, since they still produce the very same fruit.

For those of you who know you prefer the Bartlett pear, Sierra is
sure to please. Although very similar in flavour, texture, ripening
time, etc. the Sierra is of noticeably finer quality. With its thin skin
and fine grained flesh it is slightly more susceptible to bruising,
so although Bartlett is more suited for commercial growers, the
home owner will appreciate Sierra's superior quality, better disease
resistance, and winter hardiness. Ripens mid - late September and
will keep until January.
