Size/Age: 1-year seedling, 12-18 inches tall
USDA Growing Zones: Zones 4-8
These pear seedlings are selected for their natural vigor and ability to thrive with minimal care. Descended from hardy European and Asian pear stock, these trees develop excellent disease resistance and adaptability to various soil conditions.
Pear trees are among the longest-lived fruit trees, often producing for 75+ years, making them an excellent long-term investment for your hunting property. The sweet, energy-rich fruits are eagerly sought by deer and provide an excellent food source during the crucial pre-rut and rut periods.
While fruit characteristics will vary (as pears don't grow true from seed), all will produce pears attractive to wildlife. These seedlings typically begin bearing fruit within 4-6 years of planting.
Benefits for Wildlife/Hunters:
Pears ripen and drop gradually, providing extended feeding opportunities
Higher sugar content than apples, making them extremely attractive to deer
Trees can live and produce for decades with minimal care
Fruit typically ripens during early hunting seasons
Planting Instructions: Plant in full sun with good air circulation. Space trees 20-25 feet apart. Pears adapt to various soil types but prefer well-drained locations.
Care Requirements: Water regularly during establishment. Once established, pears are quite drought-resistant. No pruning necessary for wildlife purposes.
Bulk Price: $15 each for 5+ trees
Shipping Notes: Ships bare-root during dormant season. Keep roots moist and plant promptly upon arrival.
