Similar to classic favorite 'Bartlett', but ripens 2 to 3 weeks later. In taste tests, the sweet, creamy flesh of Harrow Sweet was rated as highly as Bartlett. The elongated fruits also have the same golden-yellow skin as Bartlett, but blush with red when touched by the sun. Ripens in mid September making it an excellent pear for extending the season. Heavy-bearing trees show resistance to fire blight and benefit from thinning. Fruits are excellent for fresh-eating and baking plus they store for 10 weeks or longer under the proper conditions. Pollination partners: Karls Favorite or Flemish Beauty.
