1 - Moonglow Pear Tree (Standard Size) - Order Now
The trees are dormant now, and they will be packed as bare root. We best ship these when they are dormant, so best to order now through early Spring. Nice 18+ inch single-stem hefty plant.
The 'Moonglow' Pear is increasingly popular for its reddish blush coloring. It is a self-fertilizing fruiting tree that is hardy and fast growing. Spring flowers are white, early, then they produce small green fruit in late Spring, with the ripe reddish-green fruit ripening from late Summer through early Autumn. These are three year old trees, so it will be a couple seasons before they start to flower and fruit.
Good in the landscape design as a small shade tree, or, plant them in lines along a boundary, or use in windbreaks. With the early Spring flowers, that can add a real bright look along a driveway or fence line. Hardy in most soils, good for Zones 5 to 9, most soils. They grow best in full sun, but partial shading fine as well. Medium watering, and they best like mulchy moist loamy soils, but pretty tolerant of most. Cool moist conditions are best. They will get up to 20 feet or so when mature. They can vary from a multi-stem tall shrub to a small tree, and trimming is fine.
This tree is 2 years old, good roots, typically a single stem, but good hardy plant that is checked before packing. These are checked and verified as "good" trees before packing. The roots on can vary greatly, from little to many fine roots, but they will be normal for this size and age of the plant.
Yes... they are self-pollinating, but having two or more trees, and/or different varieties, will increase the chances for fruiting. Check our other listings for other varieties.

Plan Early - Order Now - Plant Early... If you can work your ground, plant now. Give the tree time to acclimate to your soil and growing conditions. Waiting for Spring is too late... trees are best planted early-early. Tomatoes and peppers are Spring, trees and plants are best planted while dormant and cool conditions. Ponder this...

Generally plan on this:
If you live in the Southern half of the country, order starting November, and take delivery right away. Plant (or pot) the tree right away. You can plant as long as your ground is not frozen. Put a thick layer of mulch around it. Get planted by mid-April before the warmer weather arrives.
If you live in the Northern half of the country, order during the late Winter, and take delivery early. Pot up your tree and hold it in a dark, cool, moist location, that will get a minimal amount of light and some moisture, but cool enough to keep it dormant until you can plant it outdoors. Plant as soon as your ground thaws. After planting, put a thick layer of mulch around it.
Once you get your plants, open the box and put them in a bucket of water, and plant right away. If you can not plant right away, then pot the plants or/and hold the plants in a cool dark, moist location until they can be planted.
Always best to add a thick mulch layer. Having a thick layer of mulch helps to conserve soil moisture, keeps the weeds down, and helps recycle the nutrients. A thick mulch layer also moderates the soil temperatures, which then reduces the stress on the roots.
