About Pear Tree

Pear trees start from seeds. The process is slow, taking several years to get from seedling to a small tree that can be transplanted in the soil.

It takes at least 4 years for a pear tree to reach maturity and start producing fruit.Slightly acidic soil that is well drained is the best place to position these trees. They do especially well in the cool temperatures but can also thrive in full sun, giving testament to their versatility.The particular type of pear tree is also a factor in the environment in which they do best. It's best to research the ideal growing conditions for each variety. Pears not only taste delicious, they are also part of a healthy diet. Containing high levels of vitamins A and C, as well as a significant level of copper and potassium, the pear can add important nutrients to the daily diet.
