Pineapple Pear Tree

Pineapple Pear is the heirloom you may remember from childhood: a taste treat with a distinctive pineapple-like flavor that is like no other, sweet, tropical, and simply delectable. The large, yellow fruit with a red blush keeps very well and is excellent for canning and cooking. The tree bears a large crop at a young age and needs only 150 chill hours to complete its fruiting cycle. Ripens in August. Self-pollinating, and a reliable pollinator for other pear trees as well. Bears in 2-3 years.

A Pineapple-Like Flavor Like No Other

Most pears taste like pears. Pineapple Pear tastes like a sweet, tropical treat, with a pineapple-like flavor that sets it apart from every other variety. It is the kind of fruit that people remember from a grandparent’s yard, and a hard one to find today.

Large, Yellow, and a Great Keeper

The large fruit is yellow with a red blush and keeps very well after harvest. It is excellent for canning and cooking, so an August crop can be put up and enjoyed well beyond the season.

Early, Generous Crops From a Low-Chill Tree

Pineapple Pear bears a large crop at a young age, and it needs only 150 chill hours to complete its fruiting cycle. It is also self-pollinating, and it makes a reliable pollinator for your other pear trees, which is a useful bonus in a home orchard.
