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.
Cold Hardiness Zone: 3
Botanical name: Pyrus
Rootstock: Ussurian
Pollination: Plant with another compatible pear; cultivar specific self fertility is not established.

A note on identity
A North Dakota State University trial later questioned whether its own poor fruiting tree was the true Schroeder. We do not take that tree as the standard for the variety, and we will keep recording how our stock performs here.
