Seckel pear is a small, heirloom variety prized for its exceptionally sweet, spicy flavor and smooth, fine-textured flesh. The fruit has yellow-green skin with a red blush and is ideal for fresh eating, preserves, and gourmet uses. It is self-fertile but produces more abundantly with a pollination partner. Seckel ripens in early to mid-fall and is known for its excellent storage life. The tree requires about 500 to 600 chilling hours.
