The Dwarf Bosc Pear Tree is known for its classic, elongated pears with a distinctive russeted brown skin and a rich, sweet flavor. The flesh is dense, crisp, and aromatic, becoming tender and buttery when fully ripe. Bosc pears are excellent for fresh eating, baking, poaching, and cooking, as they hold their shape well when heated. This dwarf tree has a compact, upright growth habit, making it ideal for small gardens and home orchards. In spring, it produces clusters of showy white blossoms that mature into fruit ripening in late summer to early fall.
Mature Height: 8–10 feet
Spacing: 8–10 feet apart
Interesting Information:
Bosc pears are prized for their firm texture and complex, sweet flavor, making them one of the best pears for cooking and baking.
This variety is not self-pollinating and requires a compatible pear variety, such as Bartlett, Anjou, or Comice, for proper pollination and fruit set.
The fruit stores exceptionally well compared to many other pear varieties and often improves in flavor after harvest.
Bosc pears are harvested firm and allowed to ripen off the tree for the best eating quality.
The tree is known for its consistent production and strong branch structure that supports heavy fruit loads.
The dwarf size allows for easier pruning, harvesting, and maintenance while still producing full-sized pears.
Grow Zone: 5–8
