The Pineapple pear is a unique, hardy variety known for its firm texture and sweet-tart flavor with a hint of pineapple. Its golden-yellow skin with a slight russeting makes it stand out, and it ripens in late summer. This vigorous, disease-resistant tree produces heavy yields and is excellent for fresh eating, canning, and preserves. Adaptable to warm climates, the Pineapple pear is a favorite among Southern growers.
