A must for the home orchard. Hardy and self-fertile. Hardiest bloom in the spring. Resistant to fire blight; it's reported that if any trees survive, Seckels do. The Seckel pear is considered native to Pennsylvania, though there is some mysterory surrounding its history. Fruit small, reddish-brown russet over yellow or greenish-brown. Best flavor. Flesh creamy white and sweet. Good for preserving, spicing. Thinning produces better size fruit.

Zone 4-8. Seckel has a small russet colored fruit with a sweet and spicy flavor. Excellent flavor for eating and with firm flesh is well suited for canning and cooking. Fruit ripens in late August into September. Trees offered are Semi-Dwarf growing only to 15 ft. and are blight resistant. The beautiful display of white flowers in spring is a bonus.
