The University of Minnesota's first introduction of an Asian pear. Juicy Jewel has a crisp apple-like texture and sweet tropical flavor. This selection has great disease tolerance and a long storage life. Juicy Jewel blooms mid-season and should be accompanied by another pear nearby. For example, Summercrisp, Patten, or Parker. Juicy Jewel produces a yellow pear with orange-pink blush that ripens in mid August.
