We have a pretty good orchard, but some of the pears are a bit long in the tooth. Laura caught a sale. $75+ and they ship free. We bought 5 for $91+/- https://www.starkbros.com/products/fruit-trees/pear-trees/bartlett-pear/145454![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/8zm45d5B/Screenshot-2022-05-07-at-20-15-04-Bartlett-Pear-Trees-from-Stark-Bro-s-Bartlett-Pear-Trees-For-Sal.png) They have other stuff, but the pears were the deal we were hunting (FYI... cross-pollination with other varieties is highly recommended... read their website). We propagate much... if anyone local is looking for various other stuff (no charge).
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

I have a bunch of Stark bare root apple trees that are doing well. I'm not a fan of spring planting though.

I have a bunch of Stark bare root apple trees that are doing well. I'm not a fan of spring planting though. I have had the bare root trees from Stark. NONE of them lived. They were planted in the spring and we got a hot wave and poof !! They were dead. I got 3 trees from Stark brothers this year. 2 didn't make it already. After I got them we had a couple of nights with a hard frost and lots and lots of wind. The 3rd one is still alive only because it is still in the house and came in a pot. I am under the impression that Stark's plants are too fragile to handle difficult weather in the spring and summer. They have a good guarantee but I really want a tree that is stout enough to stand up to some wind, frost and heat. kwg

Every one I've planted was in the late fall, all but one are doing well.

Stripped it clean up to 4 feet high. I knew they’d eat leaves. I knew they’d thrash trees. I DIDN’T know they’d eat pine needles...

Plant Asian pears instead. Way better tasting and they produce like crazy.

Planted about 8,000 fruit trees last spring........doing great.
Better to plant in the spring. Roots have a chance to develop before the winter.
Check with your state agent or the supplier.
Most tree suppliers turn off the coolers by the end of May.
Cash has planting time right.

Plant Asian pears instead. Way better tasting and they produce like crazy. Agree on Asians also... we have those well established. Pears, plums, figs, kiwis, persimmon, apple, Key Lime, blueberry trees and bushs, thorn-less blackberrie specans et al. Adding peaches etc.... will fill in/replace some. Key Limes are out (too cold).
