This exceptional Asian pear produces very large, round fruit, often up to a pound each, with crisp, juicy flesh and a high sugar content. The attractive, russeted brown skin encloses sweet fruit that ripens in early to mid-October and stores well into late winter. Clusters of white spring flowers bloom reliably even in challenging weather. Vigorous, early-bearing, and heavy-cropping, this winter-hardy tree is also noted for its strong resistance to fire blight.

Growing & Maintenance Tips for Pyrus pyrifolia 'Olympic'

Plant in full sun and well-drained soil for the best fruit production. While self-pollinating, pairing with another Asian pear will boost yields. Water regularly, especially during fruit development, and mulch to conserve moisture. Prune annually in late winter to maintain shape and encourage air circulation.
