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.

HARVEST PEAR™
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 fruit thinning 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′.+
The Harvest Pear™ is made by using plant tissue from the original tree and attaching it to the new roots. This process essentially gives you an identical tree to the one you see in the picture and description.
TREE SIZE
2-yr 4-6′ (5/8”-3/4” dia.) These two-year-old trees will have an extensive root system and will have multiple branches with a diameter of 5/8” and greater. We will be pruning the trees back to a shipping height of 66” with the roots shipping. Our largest box is 66″x 14″x 15″ and will hold 15 of the 2-yr trees. Free local pick-up is open to the surrounding states of Pennsylvania. If you pick your trees up, you will receive a tree in that 6 – 7′ range. For larger orders and traveling from beyond bordering states, contact us at Ryan@bluehillwildlifenursery.com.
STANDARD ROOTSTOCK
Harvest pear™ is grafted to a vigorous, standard-sized rootstock that will reach a mature height of 20′-30′. This will give you more fruit on the tree and take up less real estate. This root is adaptable to acidic soils, poor soil conditions, sandy soils, and soil with low fertility. As a result, it will be suitable for more marginal areas that were wooded and are now food plots, reclaimed land, shale mountain soil, dryer uplands, and sandy soils. Obviously, with that said, this rootstock will perform exceptionally well when planted in appropriate ph and nutrient-rich soils!
You should perform a soil test and make the correct amendments to your soil for optimal growth and fruit production, as low fertility will cause a delay in fruit production. The roots will anchor well, producing a solid and drought-tolerant tree because of the deep “real roots”. We are only grafting onto the most vigorous standard rootstock. This rootstock is cold, hardy zones 4b – 8.
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR HARVEST PEAR™
Plant at least two different pear varieties close to each other to ensure pollination. The varieties of grafted pears we have for sale will continue to blossom and overlap, 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 that will 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. Doing this will ensure your deer eat your fruit in a few years, not your trees this year.
SHIPPING/PICK UP
Shipping to Plant Hardiness zones 2 – 8 will begin again in mid-March on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays (you select your ship date) and continue until the last Monday in April. Dormant bare-root trees must be planted in the spring, while trees in your area remain dormant. You can select your ship date as you checkout on the website. If you are picking up your trees, typically, the last week in March or the first week in April is perfect for planting in Pennsylvania. We have opened up the free local pick-up to the surrounding states as it could be more cost-effective if you order more than 30 trees. You can select your pick-up date on the website as you checkout. Please call or message us to make an appointment to pick up your trees if you can not make the date you selected.

Returns: We have been shipping plants around the country for quite some time now. We provide
healthy live plants. We take every effort to ensure that your plants are packed in a way that
maintains that health as they arrive to you. We can not be responsible for how plants are handled
when they leave our care or are handled by customers.
Tree care: If you plant your tree up on high dry ground they may need watered through the first
summer, if you plant too low and wet your trees may drown. Be careful of the herbicide you may
use around the tree (read the label). I want you and your trees to succeed but if you don't tube or
cage them the deer will eat your tree that night.
Hours: We do not keep regular hours. If you would like to visit the nursery, just call, send a
message or email. Anyone is more than welcome.
Selected pickup dates: Trees can be picked up in the spring as soon as you can dig in your soil.
Trees need to be picked by the end of April. Before picking up, please contact us letting us know
when you are planning to come so we can have your order ready for you when you arrive.
Shipping: When buying grafted trees, depending on the amount of trees you order will determine
the size box the trees will be shipped in. If you order 4 two year old trees, they will fit into a 66in
x 8in x 8in box. Ordering 5-15 two year old trees will fill into a 66in x 15in x 14in box. Ordering
16 or more two year old trees will fill into 2 or more boxes, depending on the total amount of
trees bought. Trees may need to be professionally pruned to fit in these boxes. Ship dates will be
selected by you before completing you order. We ship trees from early March to late April. You
should select a ship date that is suitable for the location you are planting your trees. Trees will
ship through UPS on Monday’s, Tuesday’s, and Wednesday’s. You will receive an email
notification when your trees ship. When trees arrive, plant as soon as possible. If you cannot, it
would be best to heal them into soil or store in a cool place not allowing roots to freeze but not
allowing the trees to become warm.
If Tree Tube products are the only items you purchase then they will ship as soon as the order is
received. You may have to select a ship date but I can assure you if you are just ordering tree
tubes they will ship immediately. If Tree Tube products are purchased with trees, then they will
ship with the trees.
Due to the cost of shipping there will be a minimum of 4 trees that have to be purchased in order
for checkout to occur. Due to phytosanitary regulations, we do not ship to Alaska, California,
Hawaii, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington.

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

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.

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'.+

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.

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.

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'+.
