Flemish Beauty Pear Tree

Flemish Beauty is a historic Belgian pear introduced in the early eighteenth century. This vigorous European pear (Pyrus communis) produces generous crops of medium to large, round fruit with yellow skin and a red blush.

The flesh is sweet and juicy, suited to fresh eating or drying. Fruit ripens in September. The tree reaches 10 to 15 ft tall and 8 to 10 ft wide. Flemish Beauty is generally self fertile and can also pollinate other compatible pears, but it is susceptible to fire blight.
