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 Nunavut
Nunavut has an arctic climate. Gardening is extremely challenging — primarily done in heated greenhouses. Traditional food gathering is more practical than conventional growing.
