They're among the slowest to fruit of any grafted tree. If you start growing a pear from seed when you plant a Shipova the seedling mystery pear will quite possibly fruit sooner.
I had one that started bearing fruit (a few of them) about 3 years from when I planted it. I loved it, pretty tree, tasty fruit. Interestingly enough, I don't think there were any pear trees in town! There was a Mt Ash next door though!
@@carold.8782 They are a beautiful tree. Actually my favorite tree on the property out of hundreds of fruit trees and yes I do have a good pollinator. The Shipova hasn't bloomed yet. So the pollinator doesn't have a job to do yet. :)
I planted my tree in ‘20/‘21, can’t remember, has yet to look like anything but a straight stick with leaves. I have faith that someday it will blossom with my other European and Asian pears and provide fruit! I’m up in the Islands of the Salish Sea of Washington state.
Appreciated details of leaf appearance and tree shape
I planted one today 🙂 Thanks for the video!
She’s like the scene in When Harry met Sally. I won’t what she’s having ! 😂
Thanks for the video and info on this fruit tree.
I think Laura is the best. ❤
How long do they generally take to come into bearing? Do they can well?
Mine hasn't born fruit in over 6 years. I heard online that it takes about 10 years before they bear.

@@cephalopodx7587 Do you have a pollinator? And maybe 10 years from seed, but you get a decent seedling.

Love this fruit but I don’t think I can’t grow it here, Washington state, zone 9
Thanks. Do you know where’s nursery address?
