Late August. Striking red-skinned sport of Bartlett, this is the red pear you see at the grocery store. Actually a little sweeter, higher sugar content than regular Bartlett. Slightly less vigorous growth. Not fireblight resistant but we wanted to offer some all-red pears for trial.

Sourced from our Korean Giant fruits and local wild keiffer types. NOT grafted so every one is a surprise 🙂 These will have a variety of different fruit shapes, sizes, and flavors. Start your very own new variety! These would also be great full-size rootstock to graft onto–they’ll get anywhere from 20′-40′ tall.

-Full Sun– Semi-Dwarf on OHXF 333, space 12′-16′ apart, needs pollinator
Late August. A very early and refined Asian pear with smooth, yellow skin and excellent flavor. Crisp and juicy! Asian pears are known to be very easy to care for and have a more spreading growth habit like an apple as compared to the more tall/slender pyramidal form of European pears.

All of our European pear varieties are said to be resistant to fireblight, though in Spring 2012 it plagued nearly all of our pears, even the supposedly resistant ones. Our Asian pears actually had less fireblight than the European ones. Pears are one of the easiest tree fruits to grow under organic conditions. Many insect pests which affect apples cannot propagate themselves in the very dense pear fruitlets—their larvae are actually crushed as the pear grows. Thus you may end up with some feeding scars and grit cells but have a perfectly fine fruit otherwise. They do well in clay soils and can usually take wet soils better than apples or stonefruits. Pears can take a little while to get established and get growing, and also are later in bearing their first fruit (4-6 yrs) than other fruit trees. All pears grafted on semi-dwarf Old Home x Farmingdale 333 rootstock, which can be maintained at 14’ tall. Space pears 14-16’ apart. gallon pot* $16 +tax

-Full Sun to Part Shade– Dwarf on Mazzard, space 6′-10′ apart, self fertile
July. Morello-type (red flesh, red juice). A natural dwarf, reaching only 8-10’ at maturity. Cherries are large and bright red. ‘Northstar’ is a perfect edible landscaping plant due to it’s small size, low care and beautiful blooms and fruit. Space 8-10’ apart. Self fertile

-Full Sun to Part Shade– Bush form 6-8′ tall, space 5′-7′ apart, self fertile
August. (dark red flesh and juice) We are VERY excited about this newer offering. It is a natural (non-GMO) hybrid cross between sour cherries and bush cherries, which gives it a very manageable size (6-8′ tall) and great disease and insect resistance. AND it is SWEET – great for fresh eating. Very productive. Fruit keeps well on the bush, provided you protect it from birds and neighborhood kids :). Best flavor is reached a few weeks after the fruits turn red – they’re not really ripe until they are dark red-black. Self fertile

-Full Sun to Part Shade– Semi-Dwarf on Krymsk 5, space 12′-16′ apart, needs pollinator
Mid season (mid July). It is believed that birds will not bother sweet cherries that are fully yellow when ripe, and ‘Gold’ is just that! Apparently even the blushed varieties like Emperor Francis can be prone to bird predation. This is an easy to grow large gold cherry that is cold hardy and a good pollinator for other varieties. Supposedly resistant to brown rot and fruit cracking. Zone 5-8
