I wanted to plant a pear tree in my yard...?

Question

...and I don't know much about it. I want one that is already bearing fruit and I'm willing to pay someone to come out and plant it. What is the best time of the year to do this and how much (estimate) would it cost roughly for the fruit bearing tree its self and then for someone to come and dig the ground and plant it? I live in Ohio btw. Thanks!

I'm some what partial to them I live in Missouri.

They usually aren't fruit bearing size when you first plant it . You can buy a more mature tree and only have a waiting time of a couple of years. Actually you can even plant a full grown tree I would be quite expensive to have done. At this time of the year I would wait now until spring.
Better yet contact
Stark Bro's Nurseries and Orchards Co.
Located in Missouri not too far from you, and ask about the best time to plant now that winter is here.
I can tell you this you will need to plant 2 trees unless you have another one near by because they need a different pear tree to pollinate.
Please Note: all pears have a best pollinator tree.
Our Bartlett selection is VERY productive and begins bearing at a young age.(* Pollinate with Starking® Delicious™ or Moonglow.) Ripens in late August in Zone 5.

I also live in Ohio. My FIL had a pear tree. I see them for sale every once in a while. Spring would be the best time to plant one. I have never seen one that was already bearing fruit though. Here is some info for you on the trees.

Answer 3

as till now mentioned taking a clipping and getting the roots to start up with a rooting hormone is the main suitable way. Bonsai loosely translated is "tree in a pot" so any tree in a pot is a bonsai. Heres the trap, Smaller leaves and powerful taper. in case you have a a million foot tall tree with 6 leaves that are 5 inches for the period of it won't appear like a " tree interior the gap" The artwork is relatively relaxing and you'd be gaining know-how of roughly bonsai by doing the pear without spending hundreds of greenbacks.

Answer 4

hi,

Merry Christmas

You should ask someone who has a great experience in pear trees.He will everything you need to know and to do.
However, I know that if you plant a tree that bears fruits already, you will be very sorry, because after the bloom, you three will probably die, because riping the fruits and the needy energies for the roots to grow further in the soil, will ask so much of the tree that it will get weak.
So prefer one that have 3 - 10 fruits.Not to much.
Plant it in febr./march....depending on the weather

Answer 5

You should never transplant or move a bearing fruit tree.

Plant in spring or fall after fruit and leaves have fallen off.

Good luck. Plant in full SUN & deep.
