Pear Trees #749554

Asked May 12, 2021, 4:49 PM EDT

I am considering planting a pear tree in my yard. My neighbors have several apple trees and we just planted 2 Contender Peach trees. Can you tell me if one pear tree will be okay to plant, or do they need a few in the same area to pollinate?

Thank you for writing.  Pollinators are needed.
