Description
The original pear tree is found growing on the Ny/Pa border with long weeping branches laden with large European style pears that begin dropping in mid-November….a few weeks after Kieffer. This late dropping pear will persist and drop until mid-December. It produces a pick-up bed full of pears annually. It has never been sprayed and has never exhibited signs of fireblight. This tree will typically begin producing the 2 years after planting depending on soil fertility.
The Advent pear becomes incredibly sweet as the starches turn to sugars in mid-November making this late dropping pear highly desirable for deer and bear this tree resides in the middle of bear country. I have witnessed many of broken limbs on this wild tree from the bears, yet the extreme vigor in this tree allows it to bounce back and continue to produce heavy annual crops.
In all my years of observing this tree has never failed to produce fruit even though it is in the very bottom of a creek valley (a very likely spot for a frost pocket). Because It has survived a winter low of -24 °F that would make it cold hardy to zone 4. However, I’m conservatively listing it for zones 5-8. Your options are in rootstock either Semi dwarf or Standard.
TREE SIZE
All pear trees will be sold 4-6 feet in height and around 1/2′ in diameter. Your options are in rootstock either Semi dwarf or Standard. For a video of tree size click here. These trees are grafted using plant tissue from the original tree and attaching it to the new roots essentially giving you an identical tree of the one you see in the picture and description.
ROOTSTOCK OPTIONS
OHxF 97 Rootstock
This is a cloned “semi dwarf” rootstock that produces a tree about 75% to 95% the size of a standard with a mature height of 20′. OHxF 97 produces a tree that is vigorous, productive, and resistant to fireblight and pear decline. It is cold hardy from zones 4-8. It is widely preferred as a deer pear rootstock across the midwest. This rootstock is very adaptable to a range of soil fertility and pH. However, it does best in moist, well drained soil. It is less tolerant of very dry and very wet soils (for these locations try the standard rootstock).
100% Standard Rootstock
A vigorous, standard-sized rootstock (20-30 feet high) that is adaptable to acidic soils, poor soil conditions and fertility. Produces a strong well anchored tree, that performs well in heavy soils and is very tolerant of dry and wetter soil. As a result, it will be good for more marginal areas like wooded food plots, reclaimed land, shale mountain soil, dryer uplands and ridges as well as tolerating more moist soils. I am only selecting the most vigorous standard rootstock to graft onto. Due to the increased vigor, the trees grafted onto this rootstock will run slightly bigger. This rootstock is cold hardy zones 5 – 8.
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS
Plant at least 2 different pear varieties within close proximity to each other to ensure pollination. The varieties of grafted pears I have for sale on this site will blossom and overlap each other giving you excellent pollination. The Danville Kieffer is an excellent pollinator for both Asian and European varieties of pears being sold.
All pears should be planted in moist, well drained soil with a soil ph between 5.5 – 7.2 with adequate nutrient levels for optimal growth. The above soil conditions will provide the most growth and fruit production. Pears are one fruit tree which will also tolerate acidic soils with poor fertility. A minimum of 6 hours of sunlight is recommended. Also, recommended tree spacing on either rootstock of at least 20′. Cages of at least 5’ are highly recommended to ensure your deer eat your fruit in a few years and not your trees this year.

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 be able to access this tree, the owner stated to 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.
