Pyrus communis ‘Winter Nelis’ Pear

Winter Nelis is a classic European pear variety known for its excellent flavor and late-season maturity. The fruit is medium to small in size with a rounded, slightly squat shape. Its skin is greenish-brown, often covered with fine russeting and occasionally a light reddish blush when grown in full sun.

The flesh is creamy white, fine-textured, and very juicy. When fully ripe, Winter Nelis pears develop a rich, sweet flavor with subtle spicy notes and an aromatic fragrance. Unlike Asian pears, the texture becomes soft and buttery at maturity, making it ideal for fresh eating.

Winter Nelis is especially valued for its outstanding keeping quality. The fruit is harvested late in the season and improves in flavor after storage, making it one of the best pears for winter consumption. It is excellent for fresh use, desserts, baking, and preserves.

The tree is moderately vigorous, productive, and well-suited to warm temperate climates. It produces attractive white blossoms in spring and bears reliable crops with proper pollination. Winter Nelis pear trees prefer well-drained soil and full sun and are appreciated for both fruit quality and storage life.
