The Pyrus communis 'Beurre Hardy', commonly known as the Beurré Hardy Pear Tree, is a classic 19th-century French dessert pear, prized for its rich flavour and melting, buttery texture. Its medium to large fruits have russeted, golden-brown skin flushed with red, and the flesh is juicy, aromatic, and wonderfully sweet. This elegant pear tree also brings ornamental value, with masses of spring blossom and attractive autumn foliage. Though not self-fertile, Beurré Hardy is an excellent pollinator for other pears, making it a fine addition to any garden or orchard.
