Pollinator required to bear fruit

Prepare for a spectacular show of blooms in the spring!

Also known as Kalle Red Pear

Red Clapp’s pears are a generous size, with gorgeous scarlet skin and pale vanilla-colored flesh. High juice content makes them superb for eating fresh but the fine-textured pear will hold its shape well for preserves or canning. For best results, thin the fruit to about 5 inches apart. Tolerates clay soil. Originated as a natural mutation of Clapp’s Favorite. Ripens in late August. Pollinator required: Choose Moonglow or Beurre Bosc.

  1. Lori Ann Summerfield

    Big healthy trees, well packaged and fast shipping. bought 8 pear trees

  2. Suzanne Daum

    It has not produced fruit yet, but it has become an excellent pollinator for our 2 other pear trees! The other 2 pear trees had never produced fruit for 3 previous years. With the Red Clapps pear they immediately produced lots of pears!

  3. Michael Mezerewski

    Unfortunately tree arrived in poor shape. This is the only tree from Stark’s that I have lost. Planted another tree in the exact same spot and it is doing well.

  4. Mark Eric Derryberry
