Pyrus communis 'Ercolini', also known as Ercolini pear, is a cultivar of the European pear. It is a deciduous fruit tree that can grow up to 5-7 meters tall and wide when fully matured.
The fruit of the Ercolini pear is medium-sized, weighing about 150-200 grams, with a yellow-green skin that turns yellowish-brown when fully ripe. The skin is slightly rough and dotted with small brown spots. The flesh is juicy, sweet, and creamy white in color. It has a classic pear flavor, with a hint of vanilla and a slightly gritty texture.
Ercolini pear trees are known for their hardiness and disease resistance, making them a popular choice for home orchards and commercial growers alike. They are self-fruitful, but will produce more fruit with cross-pollination from another pear tree. The fruit ripens in mid to late August, and can be stored for several weeks in cold storage.
Overall, the Ercolini pear is a delicious and easy-to-grow variety that is perfect for eating fresh or for use in cooking and baking. Its classic pear flavor and texture make it a favorite among pear lovers, and its disease resistance and hardiness make it a reliable choice for any orchard.

About Us
During this time, we have developed a large stock of trees, mature evergreen shrubs, conifers, Japanese maples, cedars and olives. What sets us apart from a generic garden center is solid unwavering focus on trees and some bigger shrubs. You will find thousands of trees, hundreds of varieties and lots of experts who are working on the nursery and more than willing to help you to choose a plant for you.
What you will not find is hot tubs, garden furniture and plastic garden gnomes. In a nutshell, trees is what we know and trees is what we do, and only trees (and some shrubs to go with the trees).
