Hood Pear Tree – Pyrus communis Live Tree | 4–6 Feet Tall | Low Chill Variety Sweet Juicy Pear | Self-Pollinating | Zone 8–10

Grow your own delicious pears with this live 4–6 ft Hood Pear tree. This vigorous fruit tree produces very large, greenish-yellow pears that are sweet, crisp, and juicy—perfect for fresh eating, baking, canning, or drying.

Hood pear is especially well-suited for the Southeastern U.S., thanks to its low chill requirement (100–200 chill hours) and noted resistance to fire blight. While self-pollinating, production improves when planted near another pear variety for cross-pollination.

Trees are shipped without the pot. Roots are carefully wrapped and secured to maintain moisture during transit.

You will receive a healthy live tree similar in size and condition to the one shown in listing photos.

You will receive:
✔️ 1 live Hood Pear tree
✔️ Height: approximately 4–6 feet
