D’ Anjou Tree
Pear ‘D’ Anjou'
Pyrus communis 'D'Anjou' is a classic, cold-hardy European pear prized for its large, rounded fruit with firm, flavorful flesh that holds its shape well when cooked. A deciduous tree, it produces showy white blossoms in spring followed by abundant, yellow to russeted-yellow pears that are excellent for fresh eating, baking, and poaching. It is partially self-fertile but requires a pollinator such as 'Bartlett' for the heaviest crops. With a chilling requirement of approximately 800 hours, it is a reliable and productive choice for home orchards in cooler climates.
