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 Nevada
Nevada has an arid continental climate. Las Vegas is Zone 9a-9b; Reno is Zone 6b-7a; mountain areas are Zone 4-5. Low humidity means cool nights even in summer.
