Advice on fruit tree pollination.
Honeysweet was developed in the 1950s and 1960s in a collaboration between Rutgers and Purdue Universities. It is closely related to Seckel, and inherits that variety's small size and excellent flavor.
Honeysweet is also a parent of the popular Ambrosia pear also released by Purdue University.
