Kieffer Pear Tree
The Kieffer pear trees for sale drop sweet pears in October/November, making this pear one of the best pear trees for deer in the pre rut. I have personalized the name of this tree because unlike the variable fireblight resistance presorted for many Kieffer pear tree offerings. I can tell you this tree has excellent resistance to this common pear disease. The Kieffer pear tree has been around since being a chance seedling from Philadelphia in 1863. This tree has excellent vigor and is very productive at a young age, typically 2 years after planting.

.
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.

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

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.

Wild pear trees will be available on April 1st.
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.

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'.+

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.

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.
