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 Quebec
Quebec ranges from Zone 2 in the far north to Zone 6 near Montreal. Montreal is Zone 5b-6a with a 6-month growing season. French-Canadian gardening tradition runs deep — a wide range of vegetables and fruits succeed.
