Product Details
PICK UP ONLY! These will be ready mid-April for pick up. We will contact you when ready. If ordering bare root berries we CANNOT hold them until fruit trees ready for pick up as they will arrive earlier. We prefer you choose "Pay at Pick up" when checking out in case something does not arrive as expected.
The Gem pear is a popular modern European variety (released by USDA in 2015). Ripens mid-season (about 20 days after Bartlett, typically late August to early September). Fruits are medium to large in size (typically 2.5–3.5 inches long), slightly globular to rounded pear-shaped.Skin starts light green and ripens to bright yellow with a red blush (up to 35% on sun-exposed sides); flesh is creamy white to off-white, juicy, smooth, and melting with a sweet, mildly aromatic flavor—delicious crisp like an Asian pear when firm or soft and buttery when fully ripened.Versatile for fresh eating (snacking or salads), baking, cooking, canning, preserves, and excellent long-term storage without superficial scald.
"Healthy bare-root pear tree, about 4-6 feet tall with a solid 3/4 inch trunk diameter—perfect size to plant now and enjoy fruit sooner!"
Good pollinators: Bartlett, Bosc, D'Anjou (Gem is not self-fertile and requires cross-pollination for best yields).
