Description
The Winter Deer Pear™ is a grafted tree that bears very heavy annual crops of golf ball size to 2’’ pears. This pear tree has a late drop time from January – March. The tree in this picture had been through a very heavy ice storm with zero broken limbs while carrying a very heavy fruit load just prior to the picture being taken. The integrity of this pear holds up very well after being frozen and thawed repeatedly. The Winter Deer pear™ is very vigorous, produces abundant fruit annually, taste at this time of year is like sweet fermented fine wine. Having soft mast laying on top of the snow during winter draws a lot of attention from all wildlife. Winter pear is simply a great winter food source! Hardiness zones 5-8
The Winter Deer 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 FOR WINTER DEER PEAR™
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.
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 FOR WINTER DEER PEAR™
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.
