This exciting NEW DWARF PEAR variety is one of the members of our latest collection, the Summer Crunch® Pear range. This variety is an Aussie bred pear which we have put our classic PlantNet® touch on it by offering it to you as a dwarf. You know what that means – small tree, BIG fruit.

Take home the next generation of pear varieties available to the home gardener, with better-than-supermarket quality fruit that you can grow in any backyard.

The Dwarf Red Princess™ Pear is perfect for the backyard, the patio, a courtyard, or a balcony in a pot or in the ground. While fruit is sweet and crisp off the tree, leaving it in on your counter for a few days will allow it to soften to melt-in-your-mouth delicious! The colour of the Red Princess pear will be enhanced with more time in the sun.

Pair this variety with any other Dwarf Summer Crunch® Pears – SunGold™, Cool Crisp™, and Sweet Reward™. If you want to pair it with a traditional variety, choose Dwarf Williams, Dwarf Packhams Triumph, or Dwarf Buerre Bosc.
