Warren Pear Tree
An excellent pear variety for those of you that like silky, buttery flesh that has no grit to it. Discovered by Thomas O. Warren, one of the founding members of the North American Fruit Explorers (NAFEX). Plants make great pollinators, are fire blight resistant, and the fruit is a perfect combination of sweet, spicy and juicy!
Pear trees are one of the world’s most popular and delicious fruit. Pears grace us with their delicious flavor, sweet, juicy flesh, and attractive form.
