One of the few "butter" pears that ripen on the tree. A less-care variety, resistant to blight, but has had it at our nursery. Space @ 10' circle Zones 5-8.

Easy to care for and disease-resistant. Bears sweet perfumed fruit picked around August 26th in VA. Its buttery melting flavor rivals any pear. Has a similar flavor to Comice. Comice is very susceptible to fire blight. I love those Comices to pieces but would not grow one, as it would surely die from fire blight in our area of Virginia. Magness grows well in areas such as MS and LA and is hardy in MI.It is Very fire blight resistant. Space dwarf @ 8'- 10'circle or standard @ 15-20'circle. Can be pollinated by European or the Asian varieties, but will NOT pollinate others. Zones 5-9.

| Honeysweet Pear | |
|
Honeysweet was introduced from Purdue University because of its superior attributes for flavor, appearance, and disease resistance. This is a very high quality "Seckel or sugar-pear" type, which is larger in size and one of the few pears that are self pollinating. Tree is similar to Seckel (a natural dwarf). Ripens late August here, with good storage ability. If you have room for only one pear tree, this is it. More fire blight resistant than Seckel and fruit is larger. Space @ 10-12' circle Zone 5 - 8.
