Stunning fruit with a delightful blush
If you're looking to add a touch of charm to your garden, consider planting this exceptional pear tree. Its early to mid-harvest season offers attractive fruit that boasts a striking orange-pink blush, creating a beautiful visual display. The flavorful, juicy pears are perfect for fresh eating and can elevate your culinary adventures. As a product of the University of Minnesota breeding program, this tree is bred for resilience and flavor, sharing lineage with other renowned varieties like Summercrisp and Parker Pear.
Beyond their aesthetic appeal, these pear trees are also great for cross-pollination, notably acting as a pollinator for Summercrisp pears. They thrive in USDA hardiness zones 4 through 9, making them adaptable to various regional climates. Planting one not only enhances your landscape's beauty but also contributes to your local ecosystem by attracting pollinators and benefiting your garden as a whole.

Juicy Jewel Asian Pear Tree Pollination
Juicy Jewel Asian Pear Trees are self-fertile. You will get fruit with only one plant. However, adding an additional Juicy Jewel Asian Pear Tree will drastically increase the size of your crop.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Dig a hole three times the size and just as deep as the root ball. You want to be careful that the tree does not settle too low in the soil. After the hole is dug, carefully loosen and unwind any roots as necessary. Fill in the hole completely and gently remove air pockets that may have formed by tamping down with a spade. Water the tree thoroughly after the tree has been planted.
2. Watering: Water your pear tree as necessary giving it at least 1 or 2 inches of water once a week. When the weather gets hot and dry during the peak of summer, increase the amount of water to maintain proper hydration and moisture. Do not water the pear tree after the first frost in the fall. You should resume watering once the last frost has passed.
3. Pruning: When pruning, it’s important to trim the pear tree’s central leader to promote an upright position. If there are any competing branches present, remove them so that multiple leaders do not form. Maintain the tree’s natural shape by pruning large, lateral branches. Dead, dying or wilted branches should always be removed to help the Pear Tree focus its energy on growing healthy and producing an abundance of fruit.
4. Fertilizing: Fertilize the pear tree for the first time one month after planting. Use half a pound of 10-10-10 fertilizer. Sprinkle around the base at least 16 inches away from the tree’s trunk.
