Patten Pear Fruit Tree
Currently unavailable
The Patten pear is an exceptionally cold-hardy European pear variety known for its large, high-quality fruit and ability to thrive in northern climates, often surviving where other varieties fail. This tree is self sterile, meaning it requires another variety of pollinator nearby (Like Parker, or Summercrisp!) to set fruit. Fruit comes ripe mid to late September.
