Pear tree 'Flemish Beauty'

FamilyRosaceae

Pyrus communis 'Flemish Beauty', also known as 'Flemish Beauty', is an old European pear variety highly prized for its large, pale yellow, slightly pinkish skin and fine, juicy, and intensely flavored white flesh. Harvested in late summer, this pear is ideal for fresh eating, baking, and canning, while also offering good storage capacity. Its abundant spring blooms attract pollinators, and although it is partially self-fertile, its production is enhanced in the presence of another compatible variety. Hardy and vigorous, 'Flemish Beauty' adapts well to temperate climates and well-drained soils. This cultivar is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a fruit with a refined taste, melting texture, and reliable cultivation.
