Blakes Pride European Pear
Pyrus communis
A mid-season European pear with an attractive yellow color and excellent aromatic flavor. Blake's Pride has a high degree of resistance to fire blight. Grow this variety instead of Barlett for that reason. Ripening season is the same time as Bartlett and picked a few weeks earlier than Magness or Potomac, usually August 12th at our nursery. Pollinates with other European types. Dwarf trees space 8' to 10' circle. Space dwarf on OHxF 333 10' to 12' and standard size 15'. Zone 5 - 8
