The Pirtle Nursery Keiffer Pear is a vigorous fruit tree that produces medium to large fruit. It performs well in hot climates and is an excellent variety for canning, baking and preserves. The Keiffer Pear requires 300 chill hours and another European pear tree as a cross-pollinator, such as another Keiffer Pear or Bartlett Pear. This fruit tree has small, single white flowers that bloom in the spring, with fresh fruit that ripens during mid-fall. Most pear cultivars are susceptible to blight; however, some like Keiffer Pear show some resistance.
