One of the best pears for the home garden, as it is easy to grow and has great disease resistance. On top of that, it also is one of the best producers in the backyard orchard delivering basket after basket of medium to large sized, dull yellow brushed pink fruit that features one of the least gritty, white flesh of any other pear with a sweet, juicy taste that makes it ideal for fresh eating or canning. ‘Moonglow’ fruit matures from mid August to mid September and can be pollinated by any other non-Asian pear. European pear, hardy Zone 5.
