The Harrow Sweet is a high-quality European pear. They are cold-hardy, growing well in our Garrett County climate. Fire Blight is a problem for pears, including the Bartlett, but the Harrow Sweet is resistant to Fire Blight, which is great news for pear lovers.
When ripe, they are yellow with a red blush and a bit of russeting. Their taste is sweet and juicy with a hint of spicy undertones. They are good for eating fresh, canning, and baking.
Harrow Sweet ripens around mid-September.
This is a standard size tree and will grow to 20′ to 25′.
Pollinate with Shenandoah and Seckel.
