DESCRIPTION: The "Florida home pear" refers to the Flordahome Pear tree, a variety known for its suitability for Florida's climate and its delicious, green, sweet-tart pears. These pears are large, semi-firm, and can be enjoyed fresh or canned, ripening in mid-summer. While semi-self-fertile, cross-pollination with other pear varieties like Hood or Baldwin can improve fruit production.
