Said to be an accidental hybrid, the Kieffer pear is a hardy tree. It grows rapidly, lives long, is
disease-resistant and bears a large crop. It also tolerates a wide range of climates, thriving in
northern states as well as hotter southern states. In fact, the Kieffer pear is the most widely
planted pears in the South.
The golden yellow fruit has white flesh that is crisp and coarse in texture—excellent for canning,
baking, preserves and pear honey. The tree produces fruit late September to October.
