Abstract: The invention is a new and distinct pear tree variety denominated ‘HW624’. The new pear tree is characterized by producing heavy crops of medium-to large-sized fruit, picked about 2 weeks after ‘Bartlett’. Fruits are green when harvested, turning yellow as fruits ripen, and there is a medium red blush where exposed to the sun. There were no natural fire blight infections on the seedling tree, and results from controlled inoculations indicate a high level of resistance to fire blight. The tree is also highly resistant to pear psylla.

Abstract: A new variety of pear tree discovered as a whole tree mutation. The new variety appears similar to the ‘d’Anjou’ pear tree but has larger leaves, shorter stems, and a different color of one-year-old wood. The date of full bloom of the new variety is 5 to 6 days later than the ‘d’Anjou’ tree. The fruit of the new variety has a finish that is cleaner, smoother and free of russet when compared with the finish of the ‘d’Anjou’ pear. The fruit of the new variety is quite edible right off to the tree, while that of the ‘d’Anjou’ is not.
