Florida Home Pear is a fast-growing deciduous tree primarily grown for its crop of large mid summer fruit. An attractive display of fragrant of white flowers bloom in mid spring. The large semi-firm green fruits have sweet juicy smooth flesh with a hint of tart. Grows best in full sun and rich, moist well-drained soils.
Florida Home is partially self-pollinating so cross-pollinating will increase yield, is leaf spot and fire blight resistant, and has a low chill requirement of 300-400 hours.
