We have picked our top three apples in another thread, I wanted to see what you’re go-to pears are.
I know we are from a broad area across the nation so it should be interesting to see what works for others in their area.
Like apples pears have literally hundreds of varieties and definitely have a place in a wildlife soft mast orchard and on the table for us to eat.
I know that it is a lot tougher to get pears to fruit the further north we go but to me pears are so much easier to grow, less maintenance and wildlife absolutely eat them up. I literally have deer bedding under my pears waiting for the wind to blow them off.
I am very partial to pears and have put in a couple dozen varieties.
My top three picks;
Korean Giant/Olympic
Gilmer Christmas
