Pear “Blake’s Pride”

Blake’s Pride ripens in mid-September and is good for fresh eating and preserving. A productive, hearty variety. This tree bears large crops of medium-size fruit featuring glossy yellow skin with tan-russet hues.

These pears store well and are good for fresh eating, canning or making desserts or pear butter. Tree is disease-resistant to fire blight and has an upright growth habit. Heat-tolerant. Harvest in early September.

You should have a pollinator pear tree within 50′; Bartlett is suitable.

One bare root sapling, 4-6′ tall, 3/8-7/8″ caliper for $40
