Pineapple Pear is one of the most fire blight resistant and heavy bearer. It blooms white flowers in early-mid spring followed by large yellow-russet with a hint of red on the skin, oval shaped fruits. The flesh is white, juicy and pineapple flavor. It is perfect for eating fresh or for canning, baking, preserves. It is self-fertile and having another same kind next to it will produce heavier crop. Fruits will be ready to harvest in August to September. Annually pruning and thinning is essential to maintain the health, shape and to ensure good yield of the crop. Plant it in full sun and well-drained soil. It matures to 15-20ft tall and wide.
