About the Early Gold® Pear

The Early Gold® Pear is a hardy, early-ripening variety prized for its reliability, cold tolerance, and sweet, flavorful fruit. Well-suited to northern climates, this vigorous tree produces medium-sized golden pears with smooth skin and firm, juicy flesh—excellent for fresh eating, canning, and preserves. Its adaptability and consistent performance make it a favorite for home orchards and prairie growers.

In spring, the Early Gold® Pear bursts into clusters of fragrant white blossoms that attract pollinators. By late summer, the fruit ripens to a rich golden hue, developing a sweet flavor with a hint of tartness. The tree’s glossy green leaves provide dense summer foliage, turning soft yellow in autumn. With its dependable yields and excellent cold hardiness, the Early Gold Pear is an outstanding choice for northern fruit production and home gardens alike.
