Anjou Pear Tree
Certified Organic
A classic, popular variety, dating back to the early 1800s. These superb, medium sized fruits are almost egg-shaped, green in color, sometimes with a slight red blush. Bright white, subtly sweet, refreshing and juicy flesh when ripe. A wonderful all-purpose pear that stores very well.
2 year old bare-root trees from our farm partner, Full Circus Farm in Pine Plains, NY.
All of our pear trees are offered on OHxF 97 root stock. OHxF 97 leads to "standard" fruit tree size, 18-20 feet high, and is a vigorous, hardy root stock that boasts resistance to fire blight.
Pollinator needed, recommended to cross pollinate with Bartlett, Harrow Sweet, Hosui, Seckel, or Olympic Giant.

Growing instructions
Choose a site in full sun, with relatively well-drained soil. Plant your tree as soon as possible after pick up, and soak the roots in water a few hours before planting. Dig a hole that will accommodate the roots when they are spread out, plus a little extra room. When planting, keep the tree perpendicular to the ground, and keep the graft a few inches above the soil. Spread the roots out and gently fill in with soil all around. Tamp the soil down and water in very well. Keep well-watered and mulched while young trees are getting established.
