Highland, European Pear (Semi-Dwarf)

Originally developed in 1944, Highland is a cross between Bartlett and Comice. The medium to large sized fruit is yellow/green with a slight russet tone. The fruit is of excellent quality with a sweet rich flavor and a smooth, juicy texture. These pears have exceptional storage ability and actually taste best after being stored a month or so. If stored properly you can expect to be still eating fresh pear into early spring. The fruits are great for fresh eating, baking, and for making into juice. Highland pear trees are heavy producers and very cold hardy.

Pollinator required – must plant near a compatible variety of pear for fruit production.
