    Growing & Maintenance Tips:

    Almost any pear will pollinate any other pear, provided the 2 bloom at the same time. They should be planted within 40-50 feet of each other. Bees are not partial to pear blossoms. The nectar is low in sugar content and the trees normally blossom early in the season when it is too cool or wet for bees to fly. Very winter hardy.
