Pears—Standard 
Pears being upright growers, may be planted twenty feet apart each way. They should 
be trained to branch as near the ground as possible. The first four years’ planting, the 
top leaders should be cut out and thus compel them to form a bushy top. Dwarf pears 
come into bearing four years after transplanting and standards not until the eighth year.
