Item description from the seller
One of the Most Important Fruits of Temperate Regions, (Pyrus communis) is Commonly called European Pear or Common Pear. It is a Parent of a Large Number of Pear Cultivars Grown for Fruit Production. It has been Widely Planted in North America, and has Escaped Cultivation and Naturalized throughout Much of the Eastern U.S. in Abandoned Fields, Along Fencerows, and in Open Woodland Areas. Most of the Pears Sold in Supermarkets Today come from Varieties of this Species. The European Pear Tree is Also a Highly Ornamental Tree in the Springs with Loads of Gorgeous White Blossoms. Trees Grow to 25-30 Tall, and Should be Spaced 15-20' Feet Apart.
Zones 5-8
Pear Germination:
1) Soak seeds for 24 hours. Then soak them for 10 minutes in a 1 part bleach to 1 part water solution. Drain, and let them dry.
2) Place seeds in a zip lock bag filled with moist peat moss. Place in the fridge for 90 days for cold stratification. Check seeds weekly to ensure the peat moss stays moist. Not wet, just moist.
3) Remove seeds and soak them in water for 2 days.
4) Plant in a well mixed seed starting mix, keeping the temperature at or above 70 degrees F.
