Pink Honey European Pear

Pink Honey Red Fleshed European Pear

Pink Honey European Pear – A tasty red fleshed pear that was given to us by a customer! It originates from her Grandfather’s property in the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro. Traditionally called Lubenicharka which translates to watermelon. After its arrival to the States, this tree is now also known as Pink Honey. Pears are about the size of a Seckel pear and with a great texture and certainly a lovely pear flavor.
