MARSHAL ZUKOV RUSSIAN PEAR (Not available this season)

(13 customer reviews)

Price range: $39.95 through $55.95

Marshal Zhukov was a Russian Minister of Defense in the old Soviet regime. We have no idea how robust he was, but the pear named in his honour is extremely hardy, so that’s good enough for us. This attractive new variety provides another viable option for areas where winter temperatures drop below -40°C. Fruit size is variable, ranging from quite large to supersize at well over ¾ pound! The tender, very juicy flesh consistently ranks high in taste tests with one review reporting a 5 out of 5. To sum it up - high quality fruit from a productive, disease resistant tree which stays relatively compact.

What is Orchard Grade?

An 'orchard grade' is a tree that may be somewhat shorter, slightly crooked, or a bit scratched, or for some other reason is not a perfect front lawn specimen. These trees will work just as well in an orchard as a first or number one would, since they still produce the very same fruit.

What is a 2 year old tree?

A '2 year old tree' is one that has grown an extra season in our nursery field.

All our trees are planted in the field in the spring as rootstock. They are grafted in August of the 1st year. Most of our trees are dug out in November of the 2nd year. Some trees are in the ground for another season. We dig these in November of the 3rd year. These are considered to be '2 year old trees'.

A '2 year old tree' has bigger roots, a thicker trunk, and more branching (They might start fruiting a year earlier).
