Description

Size: 18-24” / Age: 1-0 / Growth Rate: 1-2 feet per year. Common pear (Pyrus communis) is a small to medium-sized deciduous tree grown primarily for its edible fruit and spring ornamental display. It typically reaches 20 to 40 feet tall with a rounded to upright form, glossy oval leaves, and clusters of white flowers that emerge in early spring before or as the leaves develop. Fruit size, color, flavor, and harvest timing vary substantially, as these trees are not known varieties. Pear trees generally grow best in full sun on fertile, deep, well-drained soils and should not be planted in areas with prolonged standing water or poor drainage. Most fruiting pears require cross-pollination, so it is best to plant this tree in groups or within 50-feet from each other for best pollination and fruiting results.
