Orient Pear Tree

Buy Orient Pear trees for sale at Advanced Nursery Growers in DeFuniak Springs, Florida. Orient Pear, Pyrus communis ‘Orient’, is a dependable Southern pear tree known for its strong growth, large fruit, and good resistance to fire blight compared with many traditional pear varieties.

Orient is a great choice for customers who want a tough, productive pear tree for a backyard orchard, edible landscape, homestead, small farm, or family garden. The fruit is usually large and firm, making it a good pear for cooking, canning, baking, preserves, pear butter, and pear honey. When fully ripe, it may also be eaten fresh, but Orient is best described as a firm Southern pear, not a soft, buttery dessert pear.
