Midsummer. An unusual ancient German red-fleshed pear.
Mottled red flesh is mild and sweet with a subtle cinnamon flavor. Of the handful of commonly available “blood” pears, this is the largest, though still on the small side as far as pears go. Squat round pear-shaped fruit is yellow, often with a pink blush. Ripens in early August and is good for fresh eating and drying. Beautiful sliced atop an arugula, walnut and goat cheese salad.
A fun addition to any orchard. Resistant to scab. Z4. Maine Grown.
