Winter Hardy Pears
Listen in as I summarize what I learned recently by attending the NDSU Carrington Research Extension Center field day. Focusing on pears grown in the Upper Midwest, I discuss a little bit about everything regarding pears. What rootstock and cultivars to consider growing. The difference between hard and soft pears. The pros and cons of traditional style orchards and high density trellis systems. When should pears get pruned? When should pears get harvested? What type of potential pests or problems do I need to be aware of when growing pears? These are all questions answered in this episode.
