Description
The Tawara Asian Pear is a standout variety known for its crisp, juicy texture and rich, sweet flavor—resembling an apple in crunch but unmistakably pear in taste. The attractive, golden-bronze fruit ripens in late August to early September, making it a delicious and refreshing addition to the late summer harvest.
This tree has been selected for exceptional cold hardiness, disease resistance, and a moderate, easy-to-manage size—perfect for home orchards or smaller growing spaces. Reaching about 15–18 feet tall at maturity, it offers high productivity without overwhelming your garden. The tree performs reliably in colder climates and is particularly well-suited for growers in Zones 4–7.
