Notes
'Blake's Pride' pear (Pyrus communis 'Blake's Pride') is a tree for pollinator gardens and food gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. White flowers open from early to late spring and attract butterflies, bees, and birds. This tree is not self-fertile, so plant a second pear nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Honeycrisp apple, Plum, Woolly yarrow, and Gladiator ornamental onion.
