How to Care for Pear Trees You Purchased

It can take a pear tree between 3 to 7 years to bear fruit depending on the variety. Our grafted pear trees are already between 2-3 years old so they should begin producing fruit in the next 1-3 years. The fruit will be small and will increase in size with every growing season.

To grow a pear tree you will need to ensure that it’s receiving the proper amount of sunlight and water. They need at least 6-8 hours of full sun every day to produce fruit. It is best to water daily when the tree is first planted to ensure it becomes established. A strong root system is important for growing pear trees to hold up their tall, thick trunks that will soon be loaded with tasty fruit!

When growing pear trees you will first want to make sure that you have the proper planting site. Pear trees grow best in cooler climates but can tolerate the heat of southern states to an extent. The USDA zones for pear trees are from zones 4-8 across the United States

Are Pear Trees Self Pollinating?

Most pear trees do need another pollinator in order to fruit. There are some pear trees that are self-pollinating, which means that they don’t need a companion pear tree in order to fruit. Although most pear trees are self-pollinating and don’t NEED a pollinator variety to produce fruit, having one increases, fruit size, and production of the pears.

Asian pear trees are notorious for being self-fertile but having another pear tree variety nearby will increase fruit production.

Our Pear Grow Guide will guide you in the right direction for planting and growing your new pear trees!
