Stark® Custom Graft® 2-N-1 European/Asian Pear Tree
Description
Two different pears for the space of one! European and Asian pears grow on one Stark® Custom Graft® 2-N-1 pear tree. Both produce sweet, outstanding dessert pears. No need to plant a separate tree for pollination: they’ll cross-pollinate one another to produce both varieties of fruit on one tree! For ripening times see individual characteristics.

Questions & Answers
We appreciate you reaching out to us. This is a common misconception with 2n1 varieties. One variety is grafted at the bottom to the rootstock and the second is grafted near the top. It will remain one central tree until it branches out and starts fruiting. It is very important that you not do any pruning until after the tree has fruited.
If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to reach back out to us. Have a great day!
Thank you for your question. The multi-graft trees will have two central leaders as each variety will be on its own trunk. If you wish each variety to fruit, then you'll need to keep both central leaders. I hope this helps!
They should mature to be 18 - 20' tall x 12 - 13' wide.
They will pollinate one another because they are of the same species, just different varieties, i.e., they are still both pears with a similar bloom time.

This tree is more resistant to issues like leaf spot; however, it may still have some susceptibility to other issues like fire blight, since the Anjou variety that is grafted onto this tree is not particularly resistant.
Unfortunatley we would not know the variety as we would not have the rootstock information.
I am sorry to hear that this has happened. Please email Info@starkbros.com with pictures and a brief description so we can look into this for you.
I have always wanted a small orchard but don't have the space for multiple tree's. I am experimenting this year with the grafted trees. This is the first of the three I have picked out to plant in…
Want to try a multi-grafted fruit tree.
Because I get two for 1 and space is becoming limited.
We like pears and they looked good. i like the idea of getting 2 types of pears off the same tree.
