We have a flowering pear already and would like another one.

Michael R
How fast do Cleveland pear trees grow?
JAMES R

I planted 7 of them 2 years ago. They were 4-5 feet when I planted them and they are all 8-10 feet tall now. It will take a few more years for them to get to their full height. The ones I have that are 10 years old are about 30 feet high.

fire blight is destroying my pear tree. Is it safe to plant this tree ?
FRANCIS S

Unfortunately, ornamental/flowering pear trees can get fireblight as well.

SARAH D
does it fruit? it goes on about flowers but no mention of fruit flavor or anything
Dev B.

A Cleveland pear is like a Bradford pear. Quick growing and flower producing. Very pretty but no fruit.

NATE H
does it have crab apple shaped fruit?
Janice A.

The Cleaveland and the Bradford pear trees are non fruit bearing

SHIRLEY M H
Are the blossoms fragrant?
Bethany H.

Mildly. Not strong as the Bradford Pear.

SHIRLEY M H
Can a person use the leaves for fertilizer for a garden ?
Junebug

Sure, I have Oak and Maple trees on less than 2 acres and lots of leaves.
I use a lawn sweeper and collect the leaves and then mulch them with my tractor.
Makes a good ground cover in the winter here in Colorado or turn them under in your soil. Retains the water in the summertime. Good luck and happy gardening.

If I have not used fertilizer yet after planting this spring, will the tree grow?
t b.

It will grow, just a little more slowly than it might have had you fertilized it in the spring.

LeAnn
I have clay soil, and the area of planting has sun from dawn until about 2 pm. Will these trees do well in these conditions?
Lance

Just dig your hole a little extra large and put in some organic type material to give the roots a chance to start. You have plenty of sun. The morning sun is the most important.

RICHARD B
Is this tree deer resistant?
ANNETTE S

I bought the guards for the bottom of the trees and have no problem. I live in
northern Michigan and have not had any deer eat the trees.

Barbara W
Is fire blight a problem in northern N.Y.?
DEBBIE M

Sorry, I do not live in N.Y. I live in OK. Contact your County Extension Office.

Flowering pear
It is a very beautiful and decorative tree in my ranch, easy to care for, resistant and combines with the surroundings of other trees with flowers of various colors. Like a movie forest. I highly recommend this species of tree

Love My Cleveland Pear
We received fairly good size trees for the price and they bloomed the first year. In the last year they both have grown at least a foot. Very happy with them. Originally ordered just one, but liked it so well, we ordered another one. Very happy with our purchases....love Stark Bro's products.

Healthy and growing
Very pleased. I love Cleveland Pear trees. I have one about 10 years old and it is beautiful and the birds love to sit in it and sing to me. I hope my new one does as well as my old one.

Cleveland Sekect Pear Trees
The Pear Trees arrived the perfect time for planting in my area. They were well packaged, and I had all my planting holes dug prior to their arrival. I followed the planting instructions to the letter and now, after only a short time in the ground, they are thriving. I had pretty white flowers on most of the plants this past spring. They are faster growers than I expected. I'm very pleased with these Trees, would highly recommend them to others, and I can't wait to get my hands on a few more next spring. I am a Stark's Bro'scustomer for life.
