    The Summercrisp Pear, Pyrus ‘Summercrisp’, has been recognized for many years as the hardiest pear from the University of Minnesota, released in 1985. It is free of fireblight and an annual bearer. Summercrisp fruit is pyriform in shape, 2 1/2″ to 3″ in diameter and 2 1/2″ to 3″ long. It blooms early in May.
