Description
The Juicy Jewel Pear is a semi-dwarf pear variety that combines a crisp, apple-like texture with exceptional disease resistance and an early harvest season. Ripening in mid-August, it’s an excellent choice for growers who want high-quality fruit earlier than many traditional pear varieties.
This compact tree produces beautiful oval to elliptical-shaped pears with yellow-green skin, often accented by a soft orange-pink blush. The flesh is crisp, juicy, and sweet with delicate tropical undertones, making it outstanding for fresh eating. Fruit can be enjoyed right off the tree when ripe and will store for two to three months under refrigeration.
For best fruit production, Juicy Jewel should be planted with another pear variety nearby to ensure proper cross-pollination.
