The Double-Pear Twist Tree is a rare addition to any landscape, offering both unique and practical solutions to limited space and exquisite taste. Using the same grafting techniques as our Fruit Jubilee trees, 2 Pear varieties are now growing on just one tree! These varieties are a blend of Bartlett, Anjou, Comice, Red Bartlett, Moonglow, Kieffer, Luscious, Bosc and Flemish Beauty.
There are many unique benefits to growing the Double Pear Twist tree, including:
- The unique varieties pollinate each other! When before you needed to reserve space for at least two trees, this tree takes up much less precious room in your landscape!
- The different varieties of pears create a beautiful tree because they are all different shades of green, red, and yellow. Also you get to enjoy a variety of pears all season long because they ripen at different times! Now when one crop is done, another pear with a completely different flavor will be ready to enjoy!
- If you enjoy baking and cooking with pears or just plain fresh eating then this tree gives you the opportunity to try all kinds of different recipes and flavors!
