Most likely the Honeysweet Pear, released by Purdue University 1976 The medium , buttery, high-quality fruit has all the flavor and sweetness of the old-time Seckle (or Sugar) Pear, but with improved size and fireblight resistance. The tree itself has been very vigorous, healthy and very productive over the years. Fabulous for fresh eating, drying, juicing or for perry. Ripens in late August to September.

Discovered in Lower Grass Valley, near Cedar Ridge, this is an exceptional tree with exceptional fruit!
