Around here we have to be very careful as we have bears that love the fruit trees. With young trees you have to stake them every which way you can think of or the bears bend them over to get the fruit.

I don't know that there are any pears that keep like apples. I love
pears but they don't last. My sister has two tre es and at least one
of them is producing the best pears I've ever had. Alas, the season is
short. We picked a half dozen or so off the tree and I chewed my way
through them in a couple of days. When I called her to tell her to
bring a few more just a week later they were all gone.

Interestingly, coyotes really, really like pears. At least one and
maybe a pair had been coming in and eating all the pears on the
ground. Her dogs took serious exception to that, since they liked the
pears too.
