Vintage Virginia Apples

MOONGLOW is soft and juicy, but never mushy. This blight-resistant Bartlett-type pear is a perennial favorite. Moonglow's fruit has a soft red blush that is great for eating and canning. When ripe, this pear develops a creamy white glow on the skin. The fruity, musky fragrance heightens the senses, and the very soft and juicy pulp has an excellent quality most appreciated when eaten fresh. Peak flavor is obtained when its fruit is yellow-green, then stored in a cool place for about one week. Moonglow is a good pollinator for other pear varieties. The tree is very upright; vigorous, heavily spurred, fruits heavily at an early age, and appears to be very resistant to fire blight. It ripens late August and the tree grows to 5 feet. This variety is hardy in Zones 5 to 8.
