Rootstock
Moonglow Pear is grafted onto different rootstocks to control the mature size of the tree. Each rootstock also provides different soil tolerances and resistance to diseases and pests.
Pyrus betulaefolia Standard
Mature height of 20-30' for asian and european pears.
Vigorous, hardy rootstock for pear trees, especially favored for Asian pears, known for its tolerance of diverse soils (heavy, wet, dry, alkaline) and resistance to fire blight and pear decline, producing larger, healthier trees and better yields, though it often results in a standard-sized tree rather than a dwarfed one.

Tree Sizes
Selecting the right tree size for your property is important. From large orchards to compact patios, we offer options to fit any growing space. At maturity, our trees fall into one of three size categories*:
Dwarf
Reaches approximately 8-10 feet in height and spread. Perfect for limited spaces while still producing full-sized fruit in generous quantities.
Semi-Dwarf
Grows to roughly 12-15 feet tall and wide. Offers excellent fruit production for its footprint, and most harvesting can be done without a ladder.
Standard & Unmarked
Typically reaches 18 feet or more at maturity. Ideal for those wanting both abundant fruit harvests and natural shade coverage.
