Summercrisp performs amazingly in our test orchard, producing lots of freckled beauties that ripen uniformly and hang well on the tree. This early cold-hardy pear has a really sweet pleasant flavour and is not gritty or dry. The fruit are average-sized with yellow skin and red blush. They should be picked before fully ripe and stored in the fridge until eating. This variety deserves to be more widely planted.
