Seckel is one of those rare pears that can be allowed to ripen on the tree, if you want, or picked when mature to store for a few weeks. They are outstanding for fresh eating and so sweet they dry beautifully.


They sound good, but I don't suppose Asian pears will pollinate them? I've planted three different Asian pears, but no other pear trees.
