You are now entering THE PEAR PATCH !

At long last, we are getting varieties that produce good fruit. The trees are 15 to 20 feet tall, covered in fragrant white blooms making them a beautiful ornamental. Pears should be planted more often! Cross pollination required.

John Pear - Developed by Art Coutts of Unity Saskatchewan. This one is tart, firm, large and hardy. Good for canning. Very impressive fruit size. Stunning red fall foliage. Zone 2.

Beedle Pear - Discovered by John Beedle in St. Albert, Alberta, among a row of seedling Siberian Pears. Promoted and introduced by Dr. Evans. This is an exceptional pear.

Ure Pear - Good all around pear. Fruit is sweet and flavourful with a similar taste and texture to a Bartlett pear. Released in 1978 at Mordon Research Station.

Thomas Pear Round, funny shaped fruit, but good eating. Lovely orange fall color.
