Pyrus communis 'Ayer's'

This old variety is favored in the South as the "sugar" pear because the pulp tastes like candy! Medium sized fruit is yellow with a pronounced red blush.

This tree is fireblight resistant. It blooms early and ripens in September. It has a low chill requirement of approximately 300-400 hours and has proven to do well in the Pacific Northwest, as well as for our humid Southern growers.

Ayer’s Pear - doing well

Received this on March 24. Our temps were already in the 90s. Unlike the Baby Crawford Peach that came with it, this one is doing well. I typically really like the quality of trees from Raintree as they have some of the best looking root systems I’ve seen through mail-order. They provide nice, solid, stock.

Didn't work for me!

Unfortunately, this tree did not work for me. I got it spring 2024 and box and tree were damaged during shipping. I did contact Raintree and let them know. They suggested I try to plant and I did but this spring it is dead. I don't know if it was the shipping or Raintree. Other orders I have placed from Raintree have been successful.
