🛍 Product Information (Main) (English)：
The cross was made in 1965 at Harrow; the same parentage also produced Harrow Delight. Harrow Sweet, also listed as AC Harrow Sweet (HW609), was introduced in the early 1990s for areas where fire blight limits Bartlett. It is a Pyrus communis dessert pear, precocious and productive, and has been trialled for commercial planting in Ontario and France.
Fruit is classically pear-shaped and medium in size, similar to Bartlett. Skin turns from green to yellow; sun-exposed fruit takes a pink to red blush, with only slight russet around the stem and eye. Flesh is cream-white, fine, very juicy and buttery when ripe. Flavour is sweet, clean and broadly appealing rather than highly complex; sensory trials have rated it highly for appearance and eating quality.
Like other European pears, it must not be left to soften on the tree or the flesh turns mealy. Pick when the ground colour shifts toward yellow-green and the fruit lifts off with a gentle upward twist, then ripen at room temperature for several days until the neck yields like a ripe avocado. Harvest is mid to late September in many northern orchards, around Bosc or D’Anjou timing, though local climate moves the window.
Cold storage of about ten weeks at 2°C is reported from Harrow; three to four months is possible near 0.5°C. Over-long storage can wilt the stem end. Best uses are fresh eating, fruit plates and canning. Once fully ripe it is too soft for long poaching or baking.
The main horticultural advantage is excellent fire-blight resistance, with useful tolerance of scab and, in grower reports, pear psylla. Bartlett can pollinate it. It is suited to colder temperate sites and performs on quince rootstock.
Mouneyrac takes pride in sustainable farming practices and meticulous selection, offering only the finest varieties, such as Golden, Gala, and Fuji, each with its own unique balance of sweetness and acidity. Their exceptional taste makes them perfect for snacking, baking, or juicing, bringing a touch of premium quality to every bite.
