Seckel Dwarf Pear

Distinctive, super-sweet, spicy flavor. Commonly called Sugar Pear. An heirloom variety brought from Europe in 1790. The brownish-yellow fruits with a russet-red blush are a small size perfect for snacking, pickling and canning whole. The flesh is fine-grained, juicy and extremely sweet with a rich, aromatic flavor unlike any other pear. The naturally semi-dwarf trees are slow-growing, but widely adaptable and productive. Has moderate resistance to Fire Blight. Somewhat self-pollinating but yields increase with cross-pollination. Begins ripening in September
