Narrative
Unknown historic pear from Mukilteo, Washington that was planted by Jacob Fowler, a city pioneer, about 1863. The tree had been misidentified as 'Seckel' but is clearly not. The 'Fowler Pear' ripens in early-mid August, is larger than Seckel and while it is mildly sweet, it is not as finely flavored as Seckel. The tree in Mukilteo has sustained damage over the years, and a young tree was propagated and planted in a city park by the Mukilteo Way Garden Club. The Fowler Pear may be one of the oldest living pear trees in Washington State and is a state registered historic landmark. -- info from Bill Davis, Edmonds, Washington, September 2013.

Photograph of mature fruit and ripening season suggests that this may be the same cultivar as the 'Hager Grove Pear' in Salem, Oregon (PI 617686).
