This is an upright and productive tree with moderate fireblight resistance. It blooms early and is very winter hardy. Summercrisp trees are known to be long lived.

The medium-large fruit ripens mid-August. The pears have sweet, low acid, crisp flesh, almost like an Asian pear. The fruit are best consumed slightly underripe; the eating quality is highest while the flesh is firm and crisp.

Clean vs. Regular

Our clean scion is harvested from trees grown on G.16, which is extremely sensitive to viruses. These trees would not have survived if the scion contained viruses. Our clean wood has not been lab tested. Regular = may contain one of the common latent viruses; this is not usually a problem and can be used with most rootstocks.
