Spaulding Pear Tree – Pyrus ‘Spaulding’

Spaulding Pear, also spelled Spalding Pear, is a low-chill Southern pear variety valued for its adaptability to warm climates, fresh-eating quality, and usefulness as a pollinator for other low-chill pears. This pear is known for producing flavorful fruit with a soft, mellow eating quality when ripe, making it a good choice for home orchards, edible landscapes, backyard gardens, and small farms.

Spaulding Pear is especially useful for North Florida gardeners who need pear varieties that can perform with mild winters. It produces attractive white spring blooms, green summer foliage, and fruit that can be used for fresh eating, cooking, baking, canning, preserves, and pear honey.
