WHY BUY GRAFTED PEAR TREES?
Our pear trees will produce fruit between 3 and 5 years. Seedling-grown pear trees may take 5-8 years to produce fruit and may never, depending on the seed source. Our pear trees for sale are varieties we have found and begun grafting (genetic cloning). These Varieties work well when planted for wildlife. Through grafting, we have brought the exact varieties back to our properties.
Many of these pears are late dropping because there weren’t many commercially available back when, so we had to find our own. We wanted a pear that attracted deer, had great taste, and was productive and vigorous. Pear trees showed strong resistance to common pear diseases, including fire blight, and had drop times when we wanted pears hitting the ground in November and December. Most of our pear trees for sale are from Central Pennsylvania to the New York border. This allowed us to watch the original trees to see how the deer utilized them. It is important to note that our deer pear trees aren’t just for whitetails. These pear trees are very fit for human consumption as well.

This grafted pear tree produces a dessert-quality pear. Ayer's pear begins dropping in very late August to the beginning of September and pretty much finishes dropping by the end of September here in central Pennsylvania. Moving this tree south from here may drop a little earlier, depending on when your trees bloom. Drop times will move forward as you move it north. This is perfect timing here as the bucks begin shedding velvet and a few begin dispersing and setting up that new home range. I wouldn't create an orchard that didn't have fruit falling at this time so that you may pick up some new bucks, not lose them. Ayer's is just one tree that is an excellent example of a tree capable of doing so. It's a good tree that stays disease-free in a no-spray situation. I have seen no FireBlight in this tree and good resistance to scab in a no-spray situation. This tree has excellent vigor and produces annually with a decent-sized European that is very sweet as it is falling (no cold storage to become sweet). Ayer's pear will reach a mature height of 20'+. Suitable for plant hardiness zones 5-7.
Only available in 2-yr trees.

Harvest pear™ is a grafted pear tree that is annually productive, producing a sizeable European-style pear that ripens on the tree slightly later than Kieffer. The taste is similar to Kieffer as this pear goes very sweet as it ripens here in Pennsylvania in late October and starts dropping. Harvest Pear™ continues dropping into the middle of November, and as with most late-ripening pears, as the cold weather comes, those starches go to sugars, and the pear becomes very sweet. This attracts a lot of attention from all wildlife. Harvest Pear™ tree has excellent vigor. The tree is very productive and will benefit from some thinning of fruit to avoid limb breakage as the tree is overbearing. I have witnessed other pear trees meltdown with fireblight in the vicinity of Harvest Pear™, and yet this tree has remained clean. Harvest pear™ has resistance to fireblight and is suitable for plant hardiness zones 4b-7. The tree will reach a mature height of 25'.+
Only available in 2-yr trees.

Hunter's deer pear™ is a grafted pear tree that is annually productive, producing a European-style pear that produces multiple-sized pears, dropping from October to November. The taste is sweet and above the Kieffer pear in late fall. As with most late pears, the taste of this one becomes very sweet as starches go to sugars, as the natural cold storage process happens in the fall. Hunter's Deer pear™ ripens and falls free from the tree in late October into Mid-November. The natural process of Hunter's deer pear™ ripening from the coldness of late October makes it a pear that is very desirable by all wildlife and deer alike. The Vigor is extreme, and the tree is overproductive. We would advise thinning fruit to avoid limb breakage. The original tree resides in the direct vicinity of pear trees with fireblight. However, this tree has remained clean in my years of watching it. I have never witnessed fireblight in this tree. Hunter's deer pear™ is suitable for plant hardiness zones 4b-7 and will reach a mature height of 25'.+

Jackpot Pear™ is a very productive tree that produces a medium to large bell shaped pear. This pear is sweet, has a buttery texture and produces an abundant amount of fruit annually. The main drop of fruit begins late September continuing through the month of October here in Pennsylvania.
The original tree resides in Northwestern Pennsylvania in plant hardiness zone 5a. This tree has experienced lows of -24 degrees making it suitable for planting in Plant Hardiness zone 4b and down into zone 7.
Jackpot Pear™ is located in among several thousand wild apple trees, while visiting the area on October 16th. even with many apples on the ground the deer were keeping the pears cleaned up from under this tree. The name came to my mind the second I bit into this pear. Jackpot pear™ has an explosion of taste! This sweet buttery pear has a texture and flavor above that of kieffer pear with a similar drop time as kieffer. This is a tree I wanted to take home, a tree I wanted to add to all of my properties. The attraction from the deer was evident and I understood why the second I tasted it.

A grafted pear that begins to mature in October will ripen unevenly, turn yellow with a surprisingly sweet taste, and begin dropping free from the tree a few at a time in early to mid-October and will continue to drop into the first weeks of November here in the NorthEast. This Kieffer pear has extreme vigor and is very productive from an early age. The cultivar itself is too productive if planted in soil with adequate nutrients. It is overbearing with fruit. You will need to remove some fruit from this tree so it doesn't break branches. The disease resistance I have seen from this tree is at the top in a no-spray situation. The tree is annually productive and makes incredible pollination for Asian pears and European-style pears. Kieffer Pear will reach a mature height of 20'+. Plant Hardiness zones 4b-8

This Grafted tree produces an abundance of super sweet pears that begin ripening on the tree in mid-November. The original tree is HUGE for a pear tree. It has over a 6’ circumference at the bottom, stands well over 60’ tall, and is a 60+-year-old tree with zero signs of ever having fire blight. When I gained permission to access this tree, the owner told me “o, that pear, the deer really love that one.” I knew this because I had been watching this pear for years that even in Pennsylvania's heavily pressured rifle deer season it was a given that morning or evening, there would be deer under this tree.
This tree produces an abundance of super sweet pears ripening on the tree, remaining palatable, and begin dropping mid-November 2 weeks after Kieffer pear. Rifle Deer Pear™ only drops for a few short weeks….Therefore making this a powerful and fast draw that typically ends the 1st week of December. As I observed this pear tree dropping, I noted that there were never any on the ground and always loaded with deer signs! This tree produces an abundance of pears annually.
The Rifle Deer Pear™ would be perfect for jams and jellies, but we're not looking for that here. We are looking for a tree that’s highly desirable by deer, and this tree is one of them! This tree has seen a low temperature of -22 degrees which would place it hardy in zone 4b. However, This makes it a solid pear tree for planting in Hardiness zones 5-8. Rifle deer pear will reach a height of 20'+.
ONLY AVAILABLE IN 2YR OLD TREES.

The Sweet Advent™ pear tree produces heavily and annually with a strong resistance to fireblight and many pear diseases. This tree has extreme vigor and is very precocious producing a lot of fruit at an early age, Sweet Advent is tip bearing as well as spur bearing (this tree is over bearing of fruit please remove fruit from young trees and keep the central leader free of fruit). Sweet Advent™ pear is the best pear tree I have ever grown for wildlife.
The fruit of this pear tree is also is very edible to humans as well as deer. The Sweet Advent pear™ tastes great when picked off the tree in early November; as colder weather moves in, the sugar content in this pear goes extremely high (sugar content is almost too high for human consumption as freezing and thawing takes place). This process takes place in early to mid-November and will make this tree irresistible to all wildlife and be a favorite to my local deer. Sweet Advent™ pear will reach a mature height of 20'+. Suitable for plant hardiness zones 4b -8. For a video of Sweet Advent pear™ click here.

Wild pear trees will be available on April 1st, 2024.
The wild pear trees for sale are grown from seed. Therefore, each tree will be a unique and one-of-a-kind new Pear variety. These trees will all produce pears edible to a wide array of wildlife. My main focus is having a tree that supplies a fruit of size for deer. Each tree will have many variations, such as fruit size, drop times, taste, and disease resistance.
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, I 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 will reach a mature height of 20-30', growing well in almost any soil conditions other than wet soil. Like any tree grown, whether from seed or grafted, they will produce faster in more fertile soil. Yet, these pear seedlings can grow in the poorest soils with low ph and 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.
