Early Gold Pear Tree produces golden-skinned pears with white flesh, a sweet taste and a crisp texture. Large, showy white flowers brighten the branches in spring, followed by oblong fruit for fresh eating, cooking, baking and canning.
Plant Early Gold in full sun as a fruiting accent, shade tree or addition to a home orchard. Its oval canopy carries green summer foliage that turns burgundy in fall. Pair it with a Prairie Welcome Pear Tree for pollination, and look forward to fruit ripening from late August into early fall.
