First introduced in 1987, Rescue is a prolific producer of large, yellow pears with a bright orange-red blush. The high quality fruits ripen a little after Bartlett pears and have a buttery texture with a sweet, mild flavor. They can be kept in cold storage for up to three months. These pears are excellent for fresh eating and maybe especially good for canning or drying since their small core make them very easy to process. Rescue pear trees have an upright growing habit and are scab and disease resistant. Hardy to USDA zone 4.
Pollinator required - must plant near a compatible variety of pear for fruit production.
