Schroeder, often listed as Schroeder ND Hardy, is an old northern dessert pear associated with North Dakota and discoverer Art Schroeder. It produces large yellow fruit with sweet, melting flesh and relatively few grit cells. The pears are used for fresh eating and canning.
Published accounts place harvest in early September and describe early, heavy bearing. An NDSU trial later questioned whether its poor fruit represented the correct cultivar, so that accession is not treated as the standard for authentic Schroeder. Oak Summit will continue documenting this stock under Manitoba conditions.
Our fall trees are grafted on Ussurian pear rootstock.

An identity caution in the trial record
NDSU questioned whether the wood used for one poor fruiting accession was authentic Schroeder. That result is therefore not used to characterize the named selection.
