Pear Tree 'Moonglow'

Pre-order now for delivery in April-May! The Moonglow pear tree is a popular pear variety valued for its smooth-textured, sweet fruit and strong resistance to fire blight. The pears are medium to large, with pale green skin and a juicy, mild flavor that is excellent for fresh eating and light cooking. Moonglow pears typically ripen in late summer and store well when harvested slightly firm. To grow a Moonglow pear tree in a home garden, plant it in a sunny location that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight each day. Choose well-drained soil, as pear trees do not tolerate waterlogged roots. Water regularly during the first few years to help establish a healthy root system, then water deeply during extended dry periods. Prune annually in late winter to maintain structure and encourage airflow. Because Moonglow pears are not self-fertile, plant a compatible pear variety nearby to ensure good pollination and consistent fruit production. Arrives to you in a 5 gallon pot.
