Sweet Juicy Pear is Crisp Like an Apple The Hosui pear is consistently awarded “best tasting pear” by growers and consumers! They’re large, juicy and round, like an apple, not “pear-shaped.” Another similarity to apples – they have a crispy texture. While they start out pale green, like your typical pear, they turn a golden, bronze hue as they ripen. Cold Hardy. Heat Tolerant. Easy to Grow Hosui Pears are cold hardy and will thrive as far north as Zone 5. You can grow them in warmer climates with ease - all the way to zone 9, as they’re heat tolerant, and drought-resistant! Your Hosui Pear tree has been nurtured by our growers for years. We don’t ship them until they’re ready to take root in your yard. You can expect them to peak in mid-August. These pears ripen on the tree and keep up to two months. More Than a Pear Tree – It’s a Striking Ornamental! You’ll enjoy watching all the visual transitions your tree goes through! In early spring, it will produce dainty white flowers on the branches before it starts to leaf. The glossy, dark green foliage that emerges quickly changes to a coppery bronze color in mid spring. The outstanding fruit comes in mid-late summer, and as autumn approaches, the tree will reward you with bright red leaves. A Healthy Twist Eating healthy has never tasted so good! Hosui Pears are only around 50 calories and are a good source of vitamin C as well as fiber. The Hosiu Pear adds a special zest to salads and are exquisitely paired with all types of cheese. While the Hosui Pear is one of the best fruits picked straight from the tree – their sweet and tart undertones make them impeccable in pies and deliciously add moisture to baked bread and muffins. Order your own Hosui Pear tree and you’ll have crisp, juicy, healthy pears the very next summer! Planting & Care 1. Planting: Dig a hole three times the size and just as deep as the root ball. You want to be careful that the tree does not settle too low in the soil. After the hole is dug, carefully loosen and unwind any roots as necessary. Fill in the hole completely and gently remove air pockets that may have formed by tamping down with a spade. Water the tree thoroughly after the tree has been planted. 2. Watering: Water your pear tree as necessary giving it at least 1 or 2 inches of water once a week. When the weather gets hot and dry during the peak of summer, increase the amount of water to maintain proper hydration and moisture. Do not water the pear tree after the first frost in the fall. You should resume watering once the last frost has passed. 3. Pruning: When pruning, it’s important to trim the pear tree’s central leader to promote an upright position. If there are any competing branches present, remove them so that multiple leaders do not form. Maintain the tree’s natural shape by pruning large, lateral branches. Dead, dying or wilted branches should always be removed to help the Pear Tree focus its energy on growing healthy and producing an abundance of fruit. 4. Fertilizing: Fertilize the pear tree for the first time one month after planting. Use half a pound of 10-10-10 fertilizer. Sprinkle around the base at least 16 inches away from the tree’s trunk.
