The Maxie Semi Dwarf Pear, a hybrid of Max Red Bartlett European and Nijissiki Asian varieties, combines the classic Bartlett taste with the crisp, juicy texture characteristic of Nijisseki pears. This variety produces round fruit with an attractive orange-red hue, ripening in September. It also offers resistance to pear scab, making it a reliable choice for growers seeking both flavor and durability.
