Notes
'Yoinashi' pear (Pyrus pyrifolia 'Yoinashi') is a tree for specimen use and the food garden. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer tend to browse other plants first. It blooms in early to late spring and draws bees and birds. This pear is grown for fresh eating, but it is not self-fertile, so plant a second pear nearby.
Pairs well with Granny Smith apple, Mountain mint, and Ornamental onion.
