These unique, tiny, tear-shaped pears pack the finest pear flavor of all, so sweet they are also called 'Sugar Pears', creamy-white flesh under olive colored skins blushed with red, best eaten fresh, but are often pickled or spiced and look so pretty in the jars; the tree has an open rounded habit and only reaches 8-10', it is one of few pears that can ripen on the tree, is self-fertile and good for pollinating others .
