## Description

Not to be confused with Asian pears, the Orient is a domestic variety named because of its large round shape that is similar to that of Asian pears. The pears have yellow skin with smooth textured, sweet, firm, juicy, white flesh. It is resistant to fire blight and is a heavy producer in August. The Orient pear does best with a pollinator such as Bartlett, Kieffer, or Moonglow. (300 Chill Hours)
