Beurre Hardy pear trees originated about 1820 in Boulogne, France and named after M. Hardy, Director of Arboriculture at the Luxembourg Gardens. The Beurre Hardy pear tree produces excellent autumn pears with medium to large fruit russeted greenish-yellow. The Beurre Hardy pear has a delicious buttery, melting, flesh with an aromatic rosy scent and is often dripping of juice. The pear trees are very hardy, heavy croppers, resistant to scab and the flowers cope well with late spring frosts. Also referred to as the "French Butter pear." Please refer below for more information on the organically grown Beurre Hardy pear trees for sale.

Size of tree
Our trees range in height from 4-8 ft. in our field and trimmed to 4 to 5 ft. when shipped. Our young two year trees are most often feathered (side limbs). The trees diameter (caliper) is often 1/2 to 3/4 inch; *As noted by University of California Scientists and other qualified professionals the most successful trees often have caliper from 1/2" to 5/8" and usually establish faster than smaller and larger planting stock. .Pruning tip
Basic idea for Pruning: Most fruit trees should be pruned in frost-free periods mid to late winter. (apricots best after bud break) Remove most vertical branches and shorten side branches. Fruiting wood is best on horizontal to 45 degree limbs. Learn more...
Shipping information
Shipping Note: Our fruit trees and berries are delivered to you bareroot during their winter dormancy from January through May depending on USDA zone. Trees are shipped with your invoice and helpful planting directions. There is no minimum quantity required but shipping rate for an individual tree is expensive since UPS/Fed Ex charge a dimensional weight and an additional handling fee to ship a tree. You'll find it's cost effective to consider a handful of trees,vines or our helpful Tree Starter Kits.
