Kieffer pears grow abundantly in southern Pa in Zone 6. they often go to 50 feet tall and 15 to 20 feet wide. they are good eaten out of hand. We pick them while still starting to change color , and store them in the barn in a bed of hay. yes thin the fruit on younger branches to avoid breaking. A mature tree produces many bushels of fruit. I love them they are good for canning if you pick them as soon as they start showing yellow in the skin this helps prevent the heavy grainy texture. I love a cold Kieffer pear on a frosty morning with a slice of toast and my coffee on the front porch.
I just picked my Kiefer pears this October. And after they sat and got juicy and soft, man they were good! I’m going to plant some more of these.
I just bought a Kieffer pear tree today, I'm in zone 7b/8a in Georgia. Thanks for this wonderful video, it's great to know what to expect from a tree in your garden.
Great! Let me know how it turns out
I'm in Georgia and I'm glad I saw your channel. Great information 🙂
Thanks
I like the grainy pears. And the tree is lovely.

I’m sure they will
Thank you for taking the time to do this video!! so helpful!
What an awesome video. Thanks for taking the time to make this over the course of the growing season. I really enjoyed it.
👍🏼
Thanks for this video! Just looking for some care tips. I have a pear tree that came with my house that's probably decades old and 25 feet tall. I'm pretty sure it's a kieffer from the insane graininess of the fruit. For the last 2 years, it has gotten covered in flowers but drops all the fruit. I fertlilized and have been watering every other week this spring and have a ton of fruit. Looking forward to harves time and trying new pear recipes.
Thank you for your video! It is so helpful. My Kieffer pear tree is around 8 years old and has pears for the first time! I didnt know anything about them.
I never fertilized at all. Is it too late? What type of fertilizer should i use?
I also have Floridahome pear and Pineapple pear trees.
Súper trees
Thank you for this video. Just planted an ultra dwarf kieffer pear tree. Our neighbor has a pear tree right over the fence so hoping it will benefit from cross pollination although I’m not sure what kind of pear our neighbor has.
Great good luck
Having these pears trees? Would a bee keeper be good combination away from the trees?
Have eight Kieffer pear trees and last year had a fairly good crop. Despite living in North Florida, we had a late frost really dent our production this year. Great video on the species -- love the fruit, but it's definitely a tree that as you well shared benefits from pruning and won't ever win top honors for having the most beautiful form. Have to admit I too missed pruning mine this year and definitely will need to this winter!
Thanks for the comment
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
The ornamental pears are becoming an "invasive" plant being spread by the birds in our area.
I get wild ones coming up in the field and graft them to different edible varieties.
This is one type we used, and they went nuts this year. They are on the branches like grapes.
Easily a wheel barrow load. Very blight resistant. The Red Bartletts were hit hard, but not these.
I have the kieffer pear 4 years old moonglow pear 3 years pineapple pear 3 years Bartlett pear 2 years
Okay great
I pray you did not cut the limbs off the tree that were hanging , because those are the only ones that produce fruit.... the straight up in the air are sucke cains and need to be cut off ... for the air circulation ...
