Notes
'Sucrée de Montluçon' pear (Pyrus communis 'Sucrée de Montluçon') is a tree for food gardens and pollinator 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. It blooms in early to late spring and draws butterflies, bees, and birds. The fruit is grown for fresh eating, ripens late, and keeps for 3 months or more. Plant a second pear nearby, since this tree is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Serviceberry, Woolly yarrow, and Raspberry.
