Pear, Summercrisp
Pyrus communis 'Summercrisp'

Summercrisp Pear is an early-season variety known for its crisp texture, sweet flavor, and excellent cold hardiness. This unique pear is harvested when firm and slightly green, offering a refreshingly crunchy bite with mild sweetness and a hint of spice. Summercrisp is a versatile pear perfect for fresh eating, canning, or using in salads. Unlike many other pears, Summercrisp maintains its crisp texture after picking, rather than softening as it ripens, making it an ideal choice for those who prefer a firmer pear. Thriving in USDA zones 3-7, Summercrisp is well-suited to colder climates, making it a favorite among northern gardeners.

Key Characteristics

  • Crisp, Sweet Flavor with a Hint of Spice
    Summercrisp pears are known for their crisp, crunchy texture and mildly sweet flavor. They offer a refreshing and unique eating experience, with a slight hint of spice, making them perfect for fresh eating or adding to salads.

  • Early-Season Harvest
    Ripening in late August, Summercrisp pears are one of the earliest pear varieties to mature. These pears are harvested when still firm and slightly green with a red blush, offering a delicious early harvest of crunchy, flavorful fruit.

  • Maintains Crisp Texture
    Unlike most pears that soften as they ripen, Summercrisp retains its crisp, firm texture even after picking. This makes it perfect for those who enjoy a firmer pear, and it holds up well in fresh salads, canning, or light cooking.

  • Cold-Hardy and Ideal for Northern Climates
    Summercrisp is exceptionally cold-hardy, thriving in USDA zones 3-7, making it ideal for northern regions where many other pear varieties may struggle. It can withstand cold winters and still produce abundant yields of high-quality fruit.

  • Pollination Partner Needed
    Although Summercrisp is not self-pollinating, it benefits from being planted near another pear variety like Bartlett, Moonglow, or Kieffer for optimal fruit set and production.
