Description
The Summercrisp Pear is a cold-hardy, early-ripening variety developed for northern growers who want reliable fruit and excellent flavor. Harvested in mid to late August, Summercrisp pears are picked while still firm, offering a crisp texture, mild sweetness, and a beautiful red blush over green skin. Unlike most pears, Summercrisp is best enjoyed fresh and crunchy, straight off the tree.
This tree grows to a manageable size of about 12–15 feet, making it perfect for home orchards and smaller spaces. It’s been selected for excellent cold hardiness, disease resistance, and consistent yields, even in zones 4-8.
- Ripens: Mid to late August
- Fruit: Crisp, juicy, sweet with minimal grit
- Pollination: Requires a compatible pear variety such as Parker or Patten
- Height: Semi-dwarf (approx. 12–15 ft at maturity)

- Growing Zones: 4-8

A top choice for northern climates, the Summercrisp Pear is an early-season favorite that delivers flavor, resilience, and beauty to your orchard.
