The fruit of this pear tree is also is very edible to humans as well as deer.

Description
The original Sweet Advent pear™ tree is found growing on the Ny/Pa border with long weeping branches laden with large European style pears that begin dropping in November….a few weeks after Kieffer. This late season dropping pear will persist and drop until mid-December. It produces a pick-up bed full of late 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 Sweet Advent pear™ becomes incredibly sweet as the starches turn to sugars in early to 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.
The Sweet Advent Pear™ is made by using plant tissue from the original tree and attaching it to the new roots. This is essentially giving you an identical tree of the one you see in the picture and description.
TREE SIZE
2-3′ ( 3/8” dia.) These trees will have a good root system. They will be whips around 3′ high with a trunk diameter of 3/8”.
3-5′ ( 1/2” dia.) These trees will have a good root system with some possible branching but will mainly be whips. They will range in height between 3′ to 5′ with a trunk diameter of around a 1/2”.
4-6′ (+ 1/2” dia.) These trees will have an extensive root system and typically having multiple branches but many will be solid whips. They will range in height between 4′ and 6′ with a trunk diameter of 1/2” to 3/4”.
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. 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. We are only selecting the most vigorous standard rootstock to graft onto. This rootstock is cold hardy zones 4b – 8.
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS
Plant at least 2 different pear varieties within close proximity to each other to ensure pollination. The varieties of grafted pears we have for sale will blossom and overlap each other giving you excellent pollination. The Danville Kieffer pear tree is an excellent pollinator for both Asian and European varieties of pears.
Plant all pear trees 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 fruit tree requires at least 6 hours of sunlight for fruit production and growth. Space trees 20′ apart and use cages of at least 5’ to protect your trees. This will ensure your deer eat your fruit in a few years and not your trees this year.

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.
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, one thing I noted was there were never any on the ground and always loaded with deer sign! 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 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. As you move this tree south from here drop times will back up, as you move it north it will drop later. 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 be picking up some new bucks not losing them. Ayer's is just one tree that is a good example of a tree that is capable of doing so. It's a good tree that stays pretty disease free in a no spray situation. This tree has excellent vigor and produces annually. Ayer's pear will reach a mature height of 20'+. Suitable for plant hardiness zones 5-7

A grafted pear that begins to mature in October, they will ripen unevenly, turn yellow with a surprising 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. Depending on how far south or north you are located the drop will swing on this tree a few weeks. This Kieffer pear has extreme vigor and is very productive from an early age. The cultivar itself is really too productive if planted in soil with adequate nutrients, it is overbearing with fruit. You will need to remove the fruit from the tree so that it doesn't break so many branches. The disease resistance that I have seen from this tree is at the top in a no spray situation. The tree is annually productive and when put beside the Sweet Advent pear, well they make an incredible pollination and the food source team. These two will make some of the best tasting pears falling when from October until December depending on your location. Kieffer will reach a mature height of 20'+. Plant Hardiness zones 4b-8

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 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.

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 all 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 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'.+
