Seckel Pear Tree

The Seckel pear is a must for the home orchard.  The Seckel pear is considered native to Pennsylvania, though there is some mystery surrounding its history. It’s said to be named after a local farmer who found a “wild sapling” growing just outside Philadelphia late 1700's. The Seckel pears are small, reddish-brown russet over yellow or greenish-brown skin. Seckel pears ripen on the tree yielding juicy, fine grained, melting, sweet, spicy flesh.  Good for preserving, spicing. Thinning produces better size fruit. Hardiest bloom in the spring. Resistant to fire blight. The sweet and spicy flavor left many to rename the Seckel pear tree the Sugar Pear tree. The Seckel pear tree is naturally semi-dwarf making it a fine addition to the home orchard or garden.  Please refer below for more information on the Seckel pear trees for sale.  Considerations for Seckel Pear USDA Zones: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 Heirloom: Yes Uses: Fresh Eating Harvest Period: Midseason Low Chill: Yes Bloom Period: Midseason
