Pyrus pyrifolia
The Asian Pear has a texture and firmness of an apple with an all-pear flavor. Excellent variety for home gardeners that are working with limited space. Fruit is oblong and lopsided. Skin is greenish-brown.
Flowering
From Early Spring TO Mid Spring
Pear trees flower in Spring. If frost is likely to occur, while the tree is in blossom, protect it with horticultural fleece, otherwise the fruit may not set.
Planting
From Late Winter TO Early Spring
When preparing the plant a pear tree, choose a sunny, sheltered, free-draining site, and dig a hole the depth of the roots and 3 times bigger in circumference than the root system. When planting the tree, tease out the roots and spread them across the dug hole, before back-filling, and then watering thoroughly..
