The wild pear trees for sale are grown from seed. Therefore, each tree will be it's own unique and one-of-a-kind new Pear variety. These trees will all produce pears that are edible to a wide array of wildlife. My main focus is having a tree that supplies a fruit that is of size for deer to eat. There will be many variations amongst each individual tree such as fruit size, drop times, taste, disease resistance. With this said it has taken me a lot of time to put forth a wild pear with Blue Hill's name on it.
No one in the world can tell you exactly what a tree grown from seed will do. I've grown a lot of seedlings to see what kind of fruit I would get and finally have a wild pear that I've grown enough to see that you will be getting some great trees! I've never offered wild pears because of the influence of Bradford across the US. I didn't want you planting "wild pears" and ending up with what will likely be tiny pea-size junk or invasive. These wild pears are different and I wouldn't be surprised if some of the best new pear cultivars of the future are grown from these wild pear seedlings being offered.
Wild pears are going to reach a mature height of 20-30', they will grow well in almost any soil conditions other than wet soil. As with any tree grown, whether that would be from seed or grafted they will produce faster in more fertile soil. Yet, these pear seedlings are capable of growing in the poorest of soils with low ph and low fertility. In fertile soil you will see them produce some fruit at year 3 or 4, if you plant in very poor soil it may be year 5 or 6. These wild pears will grow fast and have substantial size and height on the tree by this time. Wild pears are suitable for plant hardiness zone 4b-8.
Wild pears are pruned back to 2-3' well rooted with a diameter of 3/8''+ and 3-4' 1/2''+ diameter with the terminal bud attached.
