Rifle Deer Pear™

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'+.

ONLY AVAILABLE IN 2YR OLD TREES.

Yates Apple

The Yates Apple Crab is a heavy, dependable annual producer with great-tasting 2-inch fruit and strong disease resistance. Despite its Southern roots, Yates has handled temperatures as low as -25°F and performs well in USDA Zones 4-8. Here in Pennsylvania, the fruit begins dropping in late November and continues through December, providing an excellent late-season food source for deer and other wildlife. The tree reaches 20+ feet at maturity and produces good crops without spraying.  Plant Hardiness zones 4-8

Kerr Crabapple

Kerr is a grafted crab introduced in 1952,  a cross between the Dolgo and Harlson crab apples. This tree produces heavy crops of apples annually, making it one of the best crabapple trees for deer. Kerr crabapple is around 2" in size with a slightly tart but sweet taste that's good for fresh eating or cider and, more importantly, for me feeding deer—Hardy down to Zone 3, with excellent disease resistance to common apple tree diseases. In a no-spray situation, I see excellent resistance to cedar apple rust, good resistance to apple scab, powdery mildew, and fireblight. This tree will begin dropping in October and continue to drop all fall, with a few persisting on the tree into winter. Kerr is one of the best crabapple tree options for deer sold commercially today. It starts dropping for me in central Pennsylvania in late October and continues well into December. The fruit keeps its integrity very good for me here; I wouldn't be without this tree. It is clean, hugely productive, and falling at the perfect time, as seen in the pictures. This tree will reach a mature height of 20'+. Plant Hardiness Zones 3-8.
