Fruit tree

Pyrus communis 'Cold Snap', also known as 'Harovin Sundown', is a Canadian-bred pear variety known for its high resistance to fire blight and its ability to produce superior fruit. Its medium- to large-sized pears feature yellow skin with an attractive red blush. At harvest, the flesh is firm and crisp, becoming tender and juicy after a period of ripening in cold storage. Tasters describe its flavor as floral, with hints of lemon, offering a refined eating experience. This variety is not self-fertile and requires the presence of another European pear variety for effective pollination. The 'Cold Snap' pear tree is adapted to temperate climates and prefers full sun exposure with well-drained soil. Its combination of disease resistance, eating quality, and long shelf life makes it a wise choice for gardeners seeking a tasty and reliable pear.
