The Parker pear is a dependable, cold-hardy variety valued for its large, golden-yellow fruit with a blush of red and a smooth, sweet flavor. The fine-grained, tender flesh is excellent for fresh eating, canning, or baking, making it a versatile addition to any home orchard.
Parker thrives in zones 4–7 and performs well even in cooler, shorter growing seasons. The tree produces abundant white blossoms in spring, followed by a mid-season harvest of beautiful, high-quality pears.
Plant in full sun with well-drained soil, and pair with another pear variety such as Ure or Golden Spice for best pollination. A reliable, attractive, and flavorful pear that combines hardiness with orchard-worthy taste.
