Semi-dwarf on OHxF333 rootstock.

Zones: 5-8

Chill hours: 500 - 800

Harvest: August 10 - September 1

Looks: Smaller fruit with russeted brown skin.

Personality: Sweet, flavorful, aromatic, spicy flavor makes this pear a connoisseur favorite. Crunchy flesh.

Facts of note: The petite size is perfect for a snack and is great for children who enjoy the sweet flavor. Resists fireblight. Seckel is thought to be the only truly American commercial pear variety. The variety originated from a pear growing wild in the early 1800s near Philadelphia.

Pollination: Self-fruitful in most western US climates, may need another pear elsewhere.

European pears are late blooming, tolerant of heavy wet soils, and a good choice for many areas. Susceptible to codling moth and some to fire blight. Plant at least two varieties for best results. Harvest 3rd year. On OHxF333 semi-dwarf rootstock. Trees left unpruned reach 2/3 of standard (about 12-18'). By pruning, keep any tree to any size.



Please Note: Although most of our bare-root trees arrive to our warehouse in mid-December, there are a few varieties -- Almond, Mulberry, Walnut, Persimmon, and Jujube -- that will not arrive until mid-January. If you order any of those varieties along with varieties that arrive in mid-December, your order will be delayed for shipment until mid-January unless you ask us to split your shipments and agree to pay any additional shipping charges resulting from two separate shipments.
