Collection: Pear trees
I choose to propagate and sell these varieties for their flavour profiles, their interesting histories, and, for most, their resistance to fire blight. One is an Asian pear - Seuri - and the rest are European pears. All are delicious.
Pollination note: like most fruit trees, pears require cross-pollination from a different pear variety in order to produce fruit. Asian pears and European pears cross-pollinate each other.
Rootstock note: All are grafted onto OHxF 87 rootstock - which results in a tree about 60-75% of a full-size seedling tree. If you're curious, OHxF is a cross between 'Old Home' and 'Farmingdale', a cross which has resulted in a handful of common, highly-valued pear rootstocks.
Tree grades: All our trees have had a strong season of growth and are high-quality, top-grade trees. All are sold bare root, while dormant. For more information see the General nursery information page.
