Pear ‘Worden Seckel’

Pear ‘Worden Seckel’ is a cherished heirloom pear, dating back to 1881, and developed by Sylvester Worden of Minetto, Oswego County, N.Y., the same mind behind the famous Worden Grape. A seedling of the esteemed Pear ‘Seckel‘, it carries the same rich, luscious flavor but stands out with larger, more vibrant fruit that is ready in mid-autumn. Its small, glossy yellow pears, kissed with a red blush, hold creamy-white, buttery flesh that’s incredibly sweet, juicy, and fragrant. A standout in both taste and appearance, it thrives best when pollinated with Pear ‘Packham’s Triumph’ or Pear ‘Winter Nelis’. Pear is deciduous and native to Europe.
