An 'orchard grade' is a tree that may be on the shorter side, may be crooked or with slight damage. These trees will still produce the very same fruit as a first or number 1 will. They may need to be staked and they do need regular watering, fertilizer and protection from weeds and hungry animals. All trees will benefit from pruning.
Here is another exciting option for the far north pear enthusiast. The real name for this Russian variety resembles a random string of consonants, but when translated, it comes out as True and Faithful, so that's what it is called here. The medium sized, greenish pears exhibit an appealing golden-yellow bluish by picking time. Fine grained, creamy flesh is sweet and very juicy. Storage is good - approximately 2-3 months. True and Faithful is fast growing, hardy, and dependable.
