Disappointed
Received my pear tree and it was supposed to be 4-5 feet tall. Didn’t make 1 and 1/2 feet tall. On top of it it’s a whip. Where pruned look like someone chewed it off.

Rescue Pears
I'm writing the review almost three years after receiving the tree because I wanted to review the fruit as well. I planted the tree in Fall of 2022. The first year (23) no fruit set, the second year (24) a few set but all dropped in the the June drop. This year (25) I harvested about 8 pears, after thinning it heavily in June - there was no "natural" drop in June. I harvested them about a week ago and let them sit on the counter to ripen. They are juicy and the flavor is a little bit spicy - not super sweet like a Bartlett. I would highly recommend this pear. I live in Southern Oregon and the tree did fine in our hot, dry summer with 2x/week watering.
