About Pear
Pears are among the most reliable and pest-tolerant home fruit trees — long-lived, productive, and less fussy than apples or stone fruit.
Plant in full sun; most need a pollinator, so plant two compatible varieties. Harvest slightly under-ripe and ripen indoors. Trees bear in 3-6 years and live for decades.
Gardening in Manitoba
Manitoba has a cold continental climate. Winnipeg is Zone 3b-4a. Cold winters and hot summers make for an intense but short growing season. Excellent for sunflowers, canola, and cool-season vegetables.
