Delicious homegrown pears could be yours or what a great gift! This Gem Pear tree is the gift that keeps giving. Most fruit trees purchased from a nursery are around 3 feet tall and will still take approximately 2-5 years to bear fruit. These fruit trees are 12 inches tall, making them easy to ship and plant! They will still bear fruit in the same amount of time too. Best time to plant is in the Spring or when the temperature is above 60 degrees. Our fruit trees will stay dormant when stored in the refrigerator or a cold basement until it is time to plant.This Gem Pear Tree is created on Gisela 6 dwarf rootstock and are budded from Gem pears trees grown on our very own Webster Orchards in Hood River, OR. The dwarf rootstock means your tree will be approximately 8-10 feet tall as opposed to 25-35 feet, but the size of the fruit is the same, making it perfect for the home gardener! Growing zone 3-6..
