INDIVIDUAL CROPS & GROWING REQUIREMENTS Pears
{"Image DocumentName": "INDIVIDUAL CROPS & GROWING REQUIREMENTS Pears", "Image ImageDescription": "Pears (Pyrus communis) Can be raised in zones 4 - 9, although provide the best climate, in dwarf, semi-dwarf, and standard. Most cultivars are vulnerable to fire blight. Highly susceptible cultivars such as \u2018Bartlett\u2019 should not be planted east of the Rocky Mountains. Trees are long-lived & while some are self-fertile or set parthenocarpically, most need cross-pollination. Naturally grow very upright, should be trained to a modified central leader. Spreading of branches may be required.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
