I have some young fruit trees on my dad's land. They're coming along well and it's time for late winter pruning soon.

I'm a pear man myself. I have Kieffer and Comice trees and am strongly considering some Asian varieties. Also, the deer love the winter pears and the deer are delicious too.

Tragically they go overlooked in favor of apples. OP is right.

I planted some winter pear trees on my dad's land several years ago (along with peaches and plums.) The pear fruit ripens between October and January in our region of the country and it makes delicious preserves along with fresh fruit for snacking or deserts like cobblers. This is all to say nothing of the deer that love these pears which are delicious themselves.

All aboard the fruit tree train. All across suburbia families plan inconsequential trees when they could be planting lovely fruit trees instead. It's a terrible shame.

My dad has 600 acres about two hours outside of town. It's a kick ass piece of land removed from highways and civilization full of dense hardwood, open meadows, and gentle streams. Does /ck/ have any experience in planting fruit trees? Any advice? Tips? Suggestions? I want an orchard. Long term project, but I think it's worth it.

Pears, they're good.
