Section 1: Overview
Hi there!
We’re so glad you are here. Meet Happi Pear®. Happi Pear® is all about offering you a different fruit experience with its unexpected bite. It is sweet in flavor, optimistic in nature and the fruit for every smile®.
Happi Pear® – The Story
Happi Pear® is the brand name for the HW624 pear cultivar. Its development began in 1988 at Vineland Research and Innovation Centre in Ontario, Canada. Using natural cross-pollination methods, researchers crossed Harrow Sweet and NY10353 pears in hopes of creating an attractive and delicious fruit that would be friendly to grow in top pear climates. It was selected for propagation in 1995, and HW624 was patented in 2017.
More than three decades after it was first developed, Stemilt Growers, a pear leader based in Washington State, adopted HW624 as a signature pear. The brand name Happi® was chosen to convey a positive emotion to help people feel optimistic. It’s a universal expression that represents luck, contentment, enthusiasm, and joy. The green-yellow color of the pear and the great eating experience it provides also fit well with the brand name, Happi®.
The pear is harvested in late August and two weeks after Bartlett pears. This is still considered early in the pear harvest season. Happi Pear® is among few branded pears available in the marketplace.
Brand Purpose
Happi Pear® exists to provide a different fruit experience and bring a smile to life’s simplest moments. It shakes up the pear world with an unexpected bite.
Brand Spelling & Pronunciation
The proper spelling for this brand is Happi Pear. It is purposefully spelled with an “i” instead of the more common “y.” This ties into the simplistic character of the brand.
Incorrect spellings include: Happy, Happie, Happey, Happee, Hapi and Pair, Pare, Pere, Paer.
It is pronounced ha · pee. The emphasis is on the first syllable “ha” and a soft “a” sound, followed by a quick “pee” that sounds like you would say the letter “p”.
The word Pear is pronounced pehr.
