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 Yukon
Yukon has a subarctic continental climate with extreme cold winters but surprisingly warm and long summer days. Whitehorse is Zone 1b-2a. Some vegetables succeed with cold frames and fast-maturing varieties.
