The Ayers Pear tree is an heirloom variety, known for its exceptional fruit and breathtaking display of colors throughout the seasons. Starting with beautiful, crisp white blossoms in spring, the Ayers Pear Tree transitions into glossy, dark green leaves that provide shade during the hot Summer months. As fall approaches, the foliage transforms into vibrant shades of red, adding a touch of elegance to any landscape. The fruits are stunning on the tree - a pleasing rounded shape, with a deep buttery yellow skin, blushed with red. We love this pear for its smooth, melting flesh and incomparable flavor of pear nectar, sweet as sugar, literally. These pears have high sugar content, making them a delicious mid-Summer treat and are among the outstanding dessert pears available today. Ayers can be eaten fresh or cooked. Hardy and adaptable, Ayers Pear Tree thrives in growing zones 5-8, reaching a mature height of 15-20 feet.I wouldn’t create an orchard that didn’t have fruit falling at this time so that you may pick up some new bucks, not lose them. Ayer’s is just one tree that is an excellent example of a tree capable of doing so. It’s a good tree that stays disease-free in a no-spray situation. I have seen no FireBlight in this tree and good resistance to scab in a no-spray situation. This tree has excellent vigor and produces annually with a decent-sized European that is very sweet as it is falling (no cold storage to become sweet). Suitable for plant hardiness zones 5-7.
