Honeysweet Pear

Honeysweet Pear

Honeysweet Pear is a unique, disease-resistant variety bears bumper crops of sweet, delicious pears with buttery and delightfully aromatic flesh. A great choice for those with limited space, as this is one of the rare few partially self-pollinating pear varieties. The Honeysweet Pear Tree is similar to the classic Seckel variety but larger, great for fresh eating and preserving, and also stores well.
