| Botanical Name | Pyrus communis 'Pineapple' |
| Description | The 'Pineapple' Pear is a Southern classic, cherished for its resilience in hot, humid climates. It is named for its distinctive flavor—a sweet pear taste with a tropical pineapple finish. Known for heavy crops and "iron-clad" resistance to fire blight, it is ideal for the Houston metro area. The fruit is large and firm, making it excellent for fresh eating or preserves. While self-fertile, it yields best when paired with another low-chill variety. |
| Exposure | Full Sun |
| Height x Width | 15-20 feet tall x 12-15 feet wide |
| Water | Requires regular watering to establish. Once mature, it is quite drought-tolerant, though supplemental water during Willis summer dry spells ensures larger fruit. Ensure the planting site is well-drained. |
| Zones | 6 - 9 |
| Chill Hours | 150 - 200 hours |
| Harvest Time | August |
| Deer Resistance | Low |
