{"product_id":"seckel-pear-tree-644fpa","title":"Seckel Pear Tree","description":"\u003cp\u003eSeckel pears, often called \"sugar pears,\" are prized for their petite size and intensely sweet flavor. These small, bite-sized pears have smooth green skin with a warm red blush, making them as attractive as they are delicious. Perfect for snacking, pickling, or preserving, Seckel pears are a versatile choice for culinary enthusiasts. The tree is self-fruitful, producing reliable harvests without the need for a pollinator, though it benefits from planting near other pear varieties. Thriving in sunny, well-draining soil, Seckel requires moderate chill hours and is highly adaptable to various climates. With its charming size, rich flavor, and ease of growth, Seckel is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a unique and delightful pear variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSemi-dwarf on OHxF333 rootstock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eZones: \u003c\/strong\u003e6-9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChill hours: \u003c\/strong\u003e500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Time: \u003c\/strong\u003eMid-Season to Late Mid-Season (Based on typical Central Valley California weather)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest: \u003c\/strong\u003eAugust 10 - September 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLooks: \u003c\/strong\u003eSmaller fruit with russeted brown skin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePersonality: \u003c\/strong\u003eSweet, flavorful, aromatic, spicy flavor makes this pear a connoisseur favorite.
