Blakes Pride European Pear
A mid-season European pear with an attractive yellow color and excellent aromatic flavor. Blake's Pride has a high degree of resistance to fire blight. Grow this variety instead of Barlett for that reason. Ripening season is the same time as Bartlett and picked a few weeks earlier than Magness or Potomac, usually @ August 12th at our nursery. Pollinates with other European types. Dwarf trees space 8' to 10' circle. Space dwarf on OHxF 333 10' to 12' and standard size @ 15'. Zone 5 - 8
