Asian Pears, 4 on 1 Multi Grafted Fruit Tree
Crisp and refreshing for a long harvest.
The 4-in-1 Asian Pear Tree is a remarkable space-saving fruit tree that produces up to four distinct varieties of crisp, juicy pears on one compact tree. Perfect for small orchards, home gardens, and urban landscapes, it brings together the beauty of ornamental blossoms with the productivity of multiple pear varieties. Each grafted branch produces fruit with unique flavors and textures, ensuring a continuous harvest throughout the growing season. This self-pollinating tree thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, and the combination of early and late ripening pears guarantees a steady supply of fruit from early summer through late August.
Whether you enjoy your pears fresh, canned, or preserved, this multi-grafted tree delivers diversity and convenience in one elegant package. The 4-in-1 Asian Pear Tree is an ideal choice for gardeners seeking both aesthetic appeal and practical yield, providing a succession of delicious fruit alongside beautiful springtime white blossoms.

Planting & Care
Planting & Care
To increase survival rate of grafts it is important not to let one graft overtake the tree. If the different fruit varieties (the limbs) are not well-spread on your trees, use a spreader to separate them. Always plant the smallest limb (the “weakest” bud) to the south/southwest to insure that it gets plenty of sun. Prune back the strongest growing varieties by 2/3. Prune back the weakest variety by 1/2 — or not at all. During the summer, watch the growth-rate of the smaller limbs to determine if pruning is necessary at that time. If the weakest variety is 1/2 the size of the others, it’s best not to cut it back. Prune back the more aggressive limbs. Summer-prune when necessary in order to let sunlight get to all the developing varieties. Keep even sunlight available to all the developing selections. After the third season, maintain the multi-budded tree so that each fruit-type grows in balance with the others.

If your dormant tree or plant has not grown new leaves by June 15th, you may be eligible for our Limited Dormant Tree & Plant Guarantee. This guarantee provides for a store credit for the purchase price of the tree, excluding shipping. Please see the Instructions below.
Important Dates:
- April 1st Dormant trees/plants must be planted in the ground
- May 15th Perform scratch test, if no new leaves have grown
- June 15th Deadline to apply for a dormant tree/plant credit
All required documentation must be received by June 15th for your claim to be considered. Claims or documentation received after June 15th will be denied, without exception. Instructions listed below
Terms and Conditions
We cannot guarantee that your tree or plant will remain alive and healthy after it is received, or bear fruit as there are too many variables in your environment that are beyond our control (i.e. soil preparation, weed and pest control, proper irrigation, chill hours, compatible hardiness for your growing zone, proper choice of pollinator, extreme weather, rodent damage, disease, etc.).
We cannot guarantee that we will be able to provide a replacement tree/plant of the same species either that same growing season or in future years. Customers are responsible for all shipping fees associated with replacement trees and plants.
If we determine that the tree you purchased directly from us is not viable, we will issue you a store credit (not a refund) for the purchase price of the affected dormant tree or plant. Shipping is not included in the dormant tree/plant guarantee. Store credits can be used to purchase any product we sell and are valid for use only until July 1st of the following year.
Historically, 98% of our dormant trees and plants grow and thrive when they have been cared for and planted using our growing guides. Dormant trees and plants must be planted in the ground by April 1st in order to be eligible for credit. If the ground in your area is still frozen solid, you may temporarily plant your tree or plant in a pot.
Potted, non-dormant trees or plants are excluded from this guarantee as they are not dormant at the time of shipment. Evergreen trees such as citrus, avocado and olive trees are not available for credit under the Dormant Tree and Plant Guarantee.
Instructions
We guarantee that your dormant fruit tree or plant will leaf out, if you care for it according to our growing guides. In the unlikely event that your dormant tree or plant does not have leaves by May 15th, follow these simple steps to apply for a store credit:
Before you call or email, please perform a “scratch test” to determine if the tree or plant is still alive. This video shows how to check for live tissue under the bark. Scratch tests need to be done a few inches above and below the graft.
Green Cambium Layer / Living Trees
If the cambium layer under the bark is green, give your tree a little more time. It is still alive, but hasn’t come out of dormancy yet. Check to make sure that it is getting the right amount of deep root water, enough sunlight and that the weather is warm enough for that type of tree/plant to come out of dormancy. Every tree has its own personality and will come out of dormancy at different times. Be sure to submit the required documentation listed below by June 15th, if it doesn’t grow leaves.
Brown Cambium Layer / Dead Trees
If the scratch test shows a brown cambium layer or if your dormant tree/plant doesn’t have leaves by June 1st, please email us at helpdesk@groworganic.com. All required documentation listed below must be received by June 15th for your claim to be considered. To be considered for the guarantee claim, all required documentation must be received by June 15th. Incomplete submissions will be denied.
Required Documentation
- Order number
- Name of dormant tree/plant and the quantity affected
- Photos of each tree or plant showing:
- The roots (tree or plant must be pulled out of the ground)
- The scratch test areas
- The entire tree/plant
We reserve the right to not issue credit for items that have already been replaced. We also reserve the right to require photographic evidence that the tree/plant was not killed by root rot, rodent or mechanical damage.
Customer Reviews
Our tree has been planted for 2 years and all 4 grafts are growing fantastically! The pears we picked yesterday are delicious and there are more that are almost ready to eat. I've been careful to keep the faster growing grafts cut back so that all 4 are pretty much the same size. I'm excited to pick out another couple trees this year to add to our backyard!
Planted earlier this year and all 4 branches are doing great!!looking forward to this tree producing in years to come.
Zone 9 grower. This is one of ~15 bare root fruit trees I got from groworganic 1.5 years ago. All trees were pruned with Dave Wilson's free "backyard orchard culture" videos - highly recommend. All trees included this pear were large caliper and looked to be in good shape on arrival. This is the only tree that didn't make it past year 1 due to a fireblight infection which took hold on one graft and spread to the rootstock before I could figure out what was going on. Unsure if it was infected prior to shipping or after planting, but just be aware this tree is susceptible.
It's a nice tree with all grafts growing, however, it is a very slow growing tree. All grafts leafed out but only grown 4 inches in the last 6 months.
I ordered the 3 on 1 Multi-Graft Asian Pear Tree and received the bareroot tree in late January. Despite many reviews mentioning getting all four types, my tree had three pears grafted. Not that I waned 4 types, but I was hoping I get 20th Century (my father's favorite) and Chojuro (my mother's and my favorite). So when I saw the tree sporting only three branches, I was worried. And lo and behold, what is my luck, the young tree was missing Chojuro. And Hosui graft was crossing over to the other branches too. I won't lie, I was quite disappointed.
However, the tree itself was very thick and tall.
I planted it following the instruction, after spraying it thoroughly with organic dormant oil. Pruned the top 1/3 or so of each branches. Waited a week or two before placing a tiny limb spreader to start getting Hosui branch out of the New Century's space. And watched how they will do. Every week, I replaced the limb spreader to the one larger to get the branches farther away from each other.
In Mid-March, 20th Century started budding. A week or so later, New Century started to budding out. Hosui, which was the smallest of the grafts (but getting the most sunlight) was slower, but by the late March, it too started to bud out. Now that it is April 1st, they have at least 7 leafing buds on each branches. Fuzzy leaves are opening up. The rootstock too started to form a green bud near the top of the pruned trunk, so I removed it. This is a very healthy, vigorous tree.
