Loving Pear

Krazulya Pear was developed in Russia and is said to be one of the most delicious and hardiest pears. The fruit is juicy and buttery, with a slight spice undertone.“Krazulya” - meaning “beauty” in Russian - is true to its name in that the pears are a luscious yellow with bright, red cheeks.

Krazulya Pears are unique as they can be eaten directly off the tree and don’t need time to ripen. The downside is that the pears only keep for 1-2 weeks.

For fruit production, another pear variety is required for cross-pollination. Can be paired with Beedle Pear or Ussurian Pear.

Loving Pear is a Russian pear variety with a mild sweet flavor and a hint of sour. It is known for being cold hardy and disease resistant. They are green in colour but will transition to have a slightly golden red blush when ripe. With a minimal neck, they have a more rounded appearance.

They ripen in early September. It is recommended that they are harvested as the seeds begin to brown. They can finish ripening after picking. They keep well in cold storage and are suited for fresh eating, juicing, and dehydrating.

The Loving Pear requires a second variety for cross pollination. Some compatible varieties include Krazulya, Golden Spice, and others.
