Plant a single specimen for a graceful, four-season accent, or group several pears together – mixing European and Asian types – to create your own mini home orchard. Underplant with herbs, pollinator-friendly perennials, or low-growing groundcovers to build a lush, layered look that’s both beautiful and productive.
Give them full sun, room to grow, and well-drained soil, and they’ll return the favor with shade, blossoms, and baskets of fruit for years.
