Juicy Jewel® (MN121 cultivar) is a pear cultivar from the renowned fruit breeding program at the University of Minnesota. Its crisp, yet juicy texture, disease resistance, and early harvest date will make it a popular choice for Northern growers. Juicy Jewel® has proven to be winter hardy in USDA Zone 4 and relatively free of disease when grown at the UMN Horticultural Research Center in central Minnesota. The tree should be planted in combination with another pear variety to ensure cross pollination and optimum fruit production.
