Current Facts
The first Kieffer pear was recorded at Peter Kieffer’s fruit nursery near Philadelphia in the 1870s. It was an accidental cross between a Sand pear and a Bartlett pear, and proved to be a winner. This pear tree is known to be particularly hardy and disease resistant, and also self-fertilizing.
