Description
Danville 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.
As these pears begin 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 mid-October and will continue to drop into the first week of November. The heaviest drop of the Kieffer pear tree will occur the last few days of October and into the first week of November, making this pear one of the best pears for deer in the pre rut. Hardiness zones 5-8.
TREE SIZE
4-6′ (+ 1/2” dia.) These trees will have an extensive root system and typically having multiple branches. They will range in height between 4′ and 6′ with a diameter of 1/2” to 3/4”. Shipping height will be between 4′ and 6′ as 15 trees or less fills into a 5′ box these will be pruned. While 15 to 30 trees fills into a 6′ box these.
3-5′ (- 1/2” dia.) These trees will have a good root system with some possible branching. They will range in height between 3′ to 5′ with a diameter of 3/8” to 1/2”.
STANDARD ROOTSTOCK (Pyrus Betulifolia)
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 4 – 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.
