So Sweet Pear

So Sweet lives up to its name as a very sweet juicy pear!

These delicious pears are great for fresh eating and good for processing into preserves and jams. The pears are round-shaped and weigh around 90 grams. The So Sweet Pear tree can start bearing fruit as young as five years of age and is a productive tree. These pears ripen around mid to late August and will keep for under one month in cold storage. This tree is also self-fertile but will produce considerably more if planted with another pear tree nearby.
