Pear 'Moonglow' 10 Gallon

Pyrus communis

Bartlett-type pear is soft and juicy with a red blush. Pollinate with Bartlett. Plant in well-drained, nutrient rich, amended soil. Water well after planting; maintain 1" of water once a week the first year. Prune in late winter to control size and form or after flowering. Remove dead or damaged stems at any time. Feed at least twice during the growing season with a slow release fertilizer in early spring and again mid-summer. Follow label instructions. Mulch 2" to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature. A regular spraying schedule to reduce insects and disease is recommended.
