Notes

'Flemish Beauty' pear (Pyrus communis 'Flemish Beauty') is a tree for the food garden. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). White spring flowers draw bees, and the tree grows fast. It is self-fertile, so one tree can set fruit on its own. The pears are grown for eating fresh. They ripen in mid season and have good flavor, but they keep for only 1 week.

Pairs well with Apple, Raspberry, and Serviceberry.
