BLOOD RED pear is only red-fleshed European pear we have found. It is small spur-type tree with good disease resistance and cold hardiness (-35 C )The fruit resembles a small Bartlett in shape/size but has a blushed-red skin and sweet red flesh with cinnamon overtones. Fruit matures early August. One for fruit explorers and those looking for something totally different from the commercial pear varieties like Bartlett and Anjou. Blood pear trees produce better crops when planted with another variety for pollination.
