Grandview Orchard Ure Pear

Yes, the Ure Pear is not self-pollinating. You will need to plant a 'Golden Spice' pear tree nearby to ensure proper cross-pollination and a successful harvest.

Keep the roots moist and cool until you are ready to plant. It is best to soak the roots in a bucket of water for a few hours before planting to rehydrate them, and ensure you get them into the ground as soon as possible.

You should plan for a mature height of 15 to 20 feet and a spread of 12 to 16 feet. Ensure the planting site is clear of overhead power lines and has enough room for the tree to reach its full width.

The Ure Pear is specifically bred for cold hardiness and is suitable for USDA zones 3 through 7. It is well-equipped to handle the colder winters found in these regions.

The fruit typically ripens around August 15th. Because the pears are about 2 inches in diameter and juicy, they are well-suited for both fresh eating and canning.

Yes, full sun exposure is essential for the Ure Pear. You should choose a location that receives at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily to ensure healthy growth and optimal fruit production.
