Collection: Pear Trees

Pear trees (Pyrus spp.) are medium sized, deciduous fruit trees ideal for home orchards and landscapes. Whether you're buying a pear tree for fresh eating or ornamental purposes, our selection of bare root pear trees for sale includes both Asian pear trees and European pear Pyrus communis varieties.

These trees thrive in full sun, prefer well-draining soil, and begin to produce fruit within 3 to 5 years. With proper care, a single pear tree can yield abundant harvests for decades.

Choosing the Right Pear Tree

When selecting a pear tree for sale, consider:

• USDA zone compatibility

Planting and Growing Pear Trees

Plant bare root pear trees in early spring. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball, keeping the root collar just above ground level. Water deeply and mulch to retain moisture.

Good air circulation helps prevent disease, and choosing cold hardy varieties ensures success in cooler regions. Learn more about the life cycle of an Asian pear tree to support your tree at every stage of the growing season.

Care and Maintenance

Annual pruning is essential to promote healthy growth and maximize fruiting. Always prune pear trees during winter dormancy. Follow this step-by-step pruning video for proper technique.

To prevent issues like fire blight, select resistant cultivars and inspect trees regularly. Use organic practices outlined in our fire blight prevention guide.

Fruit Production and Harvest

Blossoms appear in spring, and most varieties produce fruit by late summer through early fall. For best results, harvest pears while still firm and allow them to ripen off the tree. See our pear harvesting guide for timing tips.

Popular Pear Varieties Include:

• Bartlett – Classic flavor for eating and canning
• D’Anjou – Firm, mild, and great for baking
• Bosc – Densely textured and pear shaped with russeted skin
• Comice – Rich, buttery texture for fresh eating
• Hosui and Shinseiki – Crisp Asian pear trees with long shelf life
