Moonglow pear trees were selected in Beltsville, Maryland and introduced in 1960. This is a medium to large fruit with excellent flavor and virtually grit free texture. It is ready for picking later end of summer. The pear can develop a red blush if it's on the tree with good sun exposure. These pears do not have a long shelf life so you probably won't find them in any supermarket. Farmers still like for local sales as this variety is one of the most resistance to diseases such as fireblight. Excellent choice for espalier.

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

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.
