American heirloom pears are extremely rare so the Kieffer pear tree is a special treat. In 1853, Peter Kieffer planted a small nursery in near Philadelphia where he grew imported Chinese Sand Pear seed. Kieffer also grew Bartlett pears. So one day he noticed a seedling with unusual foliage so he saved it. Kieffer is a high quality pear ideal for fresh eating, pear honey and preserves. The Kieffer pears are golden yellow skin blushed with crimson envelops crisp, juicy, coarse-textured white flesh with musky aroma.  Hardy, vigorous tree bears young with dependable crops.  Perfect variety for southern states as it tolerates hot climates and is practically immune to fireblight.  The Kieffer pear tree fruit is best harvested while still hard and store in a cool place; reaches peak flavor when fruit gives slightly to the touch.  Please refer below for more information on the Kieffer pear tree for sale. “
