About Our Pear Trees
Pear Tree Sizes: There is variability in the tree sizes, but they are generally a ¾” caliper minimum with light to moderate branching (feathering). Height is usually at least 5′, but often over 7′.
Pear Tree Pricing
*Bareroot pear trees are $38 and include a tree guard and myco root dip.
**Potted pear trees are $59 and may be available in-store on a very limited basis. Please note that our potted trees are the same trees as our bareroot trees and we highly recommend you plant bareroot.
Pollination
Pears do require an additional pear tree of a different variety for pollination. The pears available here will work for each other.
