Juicy Jewel® is a hardy pear tree that produces oval to elliptical fruit with yellow-green skin and an occasional orange-pink blush. The fruit's crisp, apple-like texture and sweet flavor with mild tropical overtones make it a delightful choice for fresh eating.
This cultivar shows good disease resistance, making it an excellent option for Northern growers. Harvested by mid-August, the pears can be enjoyed immediately or stored for two to three months, extending their availability for fresh consumption.
Growing Tips for Pyrus 'Juicy Jewel®'
To grow Asian pears, plant them in a sunny spot with well-drained soil and water regularly, especially during dry periods. Prune the tree to maintain good air circulation and sunlight exposure, which helps prevent disease. Ensure you have another pear variety nearby for cross-pollination to boost fruit production. Fertilize in early spring and keep an eye out for pests and diseases to keep your tree healthy.
