Pear Trees Bosc

#7 gallon pot. 

Bosc Pear Tree - Trees for cross pollination: D'ajou, Bartlett and Seckel. Height: 15-20ft, Width: 12-15ft. Interest: Fruit in September/October. Famous for its warm cinnamon color, the Bosc is nicknamed the "aristocrat of pears" and is often used in drawings, paintings, and photography due to its shape. Its white flesh is denser, crisper and smoother than that of the 'Williams or D'Anjou pear. It is suitable for poaching.

Maintenance Tip:
Prune in late winter to remove dead, damaged, or crowded branches and to maintain a strong central structure. Thin fruit as needed to prevent overbearing and improve size. Fertilize in early spring, provide consistent watering during dry spells, and monitor for common issues like fire blight.
