Pollinator required to bear fruit
If you love Bartlett pears, you’ll love the Luscious pear!
The Luscious Pear was developed at South Dakota State University, especially for the northern Great Plains. It’s a vigorous, hardy, upright tree that doubles as a nice landscape accent, with beautiful bloom in May and glossy green leaves that turn red in the fall.
The real prize are the pears that ripen in early Autumn. The medium-sized golden pears. The flesh is melting but firm. Like the Bartlett, only sweeter with more intense aromas. In fact, it’s so naturally sweet that it’s classified as a “fresh dessert pear.”
The Luscious Pears grow without much effort. Ideal for gardeners up north, the Luscious pear tree is not only cold-hardy but also resistant to fire blight. Just make sure you have a pollinator for this easy-to-care-for fruit tree.
