'Fuyu' is a standout for Southeast Texas, loved for its non-astringent fruit that can be eaten firm or soft. The fruit is seedless, honey-sweet, and lacks the "pucker" of other varieties. It is a beautiful landscape tree with glossy green leaves that turn brilliant orange-red in the fall. Self-fertile and highly resistant to most pests and diseases common in the Houston metro area.
