Paul’s Pear is a hardy, upright fruit tree ideal for prairie gardens and small orchards. Fragrant white blossoms in spring are followed by crisp, sweet yellow pears with a red blush. Its narrow, columnar form and striking burgundy fall foliage make it as ornamental as it is productive. Reliable and fireblight-resistant, it thrives in colder zones and benefits from cross-pollination for higher fruit yields.
