Sunrise (pear) Pear on OHxF 97 (Spring 2026)
Sweet, juicy, and disease resistant. Also known as OHUS 66170-047.
Sunrise was developed with the home orchardist in mind: it is resistant to fireblight and moderately resistant to pear scab. It is somewhat susceptible to powdery mildew. The tree is moderately vigorous and upright-spreading.
This is a pretty yellow pear with a pink blush. The flesh is firm, juicy, and aromatic. Sunrise is harvested about 2 weeks before Bartlett, and it will store for about 3 months. Full ripeness is attained about 8 days after harvest.
Sunrise is a cross of two breeding selections. The cross was made in 1965, and Sunrise was selected in 1977 and released in 2006. It has Bartlett, Seckel, and Comice in its ancestry.
