PEARS 
Hardy Understock Means Hardy Pears 
Gurney’s Pears are produced on hardy-northern understock 
which means longer-lived trees for you. Pears bear in a hurry 
and bear best crops, if you get Gurney’s northern-grown trees. 
These grow upright and can be planted as close as 14 to 16 
feet apart. At 16 feet it takes about 170 trees per acre.
