A while back, Claude made some excellent
suggestions for pears for my zone. I am now considering getting 2 trees,
however space always being tight in my overcrowded yard I would like them to not
be too big.
As I am looking for good keepers I was thinking
Luscious. However on the internet I have found sites stating it can grow
up to 15m(45ft) with a 10m(30ft) spread, and others stating that it grows to
5m(15ft) by 4m(12ft).
I have read that Northbrite is a small tree (but
have not found any dimensions), so I've been considering that.
Claude warned me about the size of crops, I can't
visualize whether 2 trees would give me far too may pears to keep through the
winter for my family. If one tree would be more than enough I could go with
grafting different varieties on to a smaller tree as Claude suggested (this
is hypothetical as I have no grafting experience).
If anyone can clarify the sizes of the trees and
the typical yield I would be grateful.
