On the Run-Leaving Fruit Wherever It Goes Wild pears are one of the few cultivated fruits that once growing outside of an orchard environment can still fruit on their own with minimal care. Trees can be more shrub-like in exposed sites and more timber-like in competition with other trees. Some of the pears have developed resistance against fireblight and in most cases have few insect problems unlike apples. All of them could be used for consumption but most would require some processing to bring out the best flavors. Some of our customers have used the juice to make wine and jelly. The wood on pear is very beautiful and valuable. It is hardness and density makes it useful for musical cabinets and instruments. All are self fertile and grow in a variety of soils except very wet soils. .
