Notes
'Honeysweet' pear (Pyrus communis 'Honeysweet') is a tree for the food garden. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This pear is grown for fresh eating, and the fruit ripens late in the season. The fruit has good flavor and keeps for 2-3 weeks. The tree is self-fertile, so one tree can set fruit alone. White flowers attract bees, and the flat-topped crown spreads at a moderate growth rate.
Pairs well with Raspberry, Serviceberry, and Coneflower.
