Luscious

The Luscious Pear, Pyrus 'Luscious', produces a medium to small, bright yellow pear that is very juicy and sweet. It blooms in early May, and its fruit ripens mid September. It has medium to small bright yellow fruit with a red blush, and a taste similar to 'Bartlett'. The Luscious pear tree is globe shaped, with glossy green foliage, and red fall color. It is fireblight resistant and does best with a second pear tree for cross pollination since it is pollen sterile. Very hardy, to -50 degrees with occasional winter injury. Plant about a month after the first killing frost in the fall or about a month before the last killing frost in the spring. Select a planting site that has good air, drainage, full sunlight and deep, well drained soil.
