Why plant Green D'Anjou European Pear Bare Root?
The Green D’Anjou European Pear doesn’t turn yellow when it’s ripe like the more familiar Bartlett. This can make it tricky to know when it’s ready to eat, but you’ll get the hang of it, and then you’ll probably come to prefer it to good old Bartlett. Green D’Anjou is an exquisitely juicy pear with a bright, lively, sweet-tart flavor that carries notes of citrus. It’s delightfully refreshing in salads, smoothies, juices, and cold soups, and, of course, you can eat it all by itself. You can also cook with it—glam up a grilled cheese sandwich with some slices, or bake a lovely tart for dessert. Sublime.
No one is sure exactly where the Green D’Anjou Pear originated. Some say Belgium, but “Anjou” refers to a region in the Loire Valley, so it could have been France. It was imported to the U.S. in 1842. Today, Green D’Anjou makes up one third of the American Pear crop (Bartlett accounts for half of the harvest). It grows to perfection in Oregon and Washington, and these two states supply nearly all of the Anjous you find at the supermarket. This variety is certainly worth trying in home gardens in other parts of the country, however.
How to use Green D'Anjou European Pear Bare Root in the landscape?
Pick Green D’Anjou Pears when they are large and plump, but still quite firm. Let them ripen several more days off the tree for maximum flavor. If you’re not ready to eat them after picking, store them in the fridge immediately. They’ll keep for months.

How To Plant Green D'Anjou European Pear Bare Root
Plant your Green D’Anjou Pear Tree where it can bask in all-day sun and enjoy moderately rich, well-drained soil at its feet. Avoid low-lying areas, where late frosts can zap the early spring blossoms. You’ll need to have another variety of Pear nearby to pollinate the blooms and enable good fruit set. Irrigate using the Elements™ Watering System and feed your tree with Elements™ Fertilizer to ensure that it gets the right amount of moisture and nutrients when it needs them. Proper maintenance is critical in growing Pears, which are unfortunately susceptible to a variety of pests and diseases such as fire blight, which may strike in warm, wet spring weather.
How Does Shipping Work?
Bower & Branch Trees, the real BIG trees, don’t fit in a box! Our big trees, sizes XL and bigger, require expert delivery and care, that means our extra-large trees are shipped on Bower & Branch trucks. We are the only ones who know how to ship our big and bigger trees and plants with tender loving care. We deliver your trees and plants directly to you. Ask Bower & Branch about planting services – we'd be happy to assist in installation.
*For Big trees and Shrubs, Size XL and bigger: Review our Seasonal Shipping Timelines and Policy here.
Your trees and plants are grown across the United States at various Bower & Branch Growers. Depending on your location, your plant orders may be shipped from various locations. Please expect orders with multiple items to be delivered over a number of days as a result. Orders made up of numerous items or selections will not arrive at your home on the same day.
Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
