Pineapple Pear Tree

The Pineapple Pear tree lives up to its name by producing large, delectable pears with a unique pineapple flavor. This exceptional fruit ripens in late summer, showcasing a distinctive russet color. Not only is the Pineapple Pear perfect for fresh eating, but it also preserves well, making it an excellent choice for canning. One of the most remarkable features of the Pineapple Pear tree is its exceptional resistance to fire blight, making it a reliable and hardy option for home orchards. It requires approximately 150 chill hours to thrive and can self-pollinate or be pollinated by Flordahome or Hood Pear trees, providing flexibility in planting options. Reaching a mature height of 20 to 25 feet with a spread of 12 to 15 feet, the Pineapple Pear tree is a substantial addition to any garden or orchard. Its impressive size and delicious fruit make it a standout choice for gardeners seeking both beauty and bounty in their landscape.
