Pyrus communis 'Tennessee' ~ Tenn Pear Size:7 GALLON Gardeners in the Southeast—whether amateursTenn Pear is a fruiting deciduous tree with a vigorous upright growth that can be trained to open when young. The pears ripen to yellow with a red blush and smooth grit free juicy flesh that has an unusual tart sweet taste for a pear in late summer. Grows best in full sun and moist well drained soils. Tenn is a heavy producer with a tendency toward bi annual bearing, so if annual crops are desired thinning the tree early in 'on' years is important.
