Super-sweet “sugar-type” pear with a rich, spicy flavor and exceptional quality. One of the few that is self-pollinating—does not need another variety for good fruiting. Keeps well in storage; ripens late August. Zones 5-8.

Took off like a rocket!

Got this on a whim... Special reduced price... Planted it with liquid fertilzer and some Home Depot Shrub & Tree Soil. Soaked it good every other evening... Started budding out within a week. It's growing strong!

Honey sweet pear tree
Reviewed By: Melissa (Baytown, Texas)
When I received this tree in the mail, I was worried because it was a stick with bare roots! But in about 6 weeks time it is covered with healthy leaves and has doubled in size. Can't wait to see it bloom!
