*CUZ YOU WHINE LIKE THIS AND WHINE ABOUT THAT*

i know people read comments for more info, so here is my story. My friend loved the pears from his grandfather’s tree. His mother got a tree from it-i don’t know if it was from a seed or a cutting, but everyone agreed the mother’s pears were excellent. His brother brought some cuttings and pears from that tree (the mother had died and the house sold, but the new neighbor’s were friendly and shared). i have not rooted any cuttings yet, but they leafed out and I am not sure they are dead. I put a few seeds, fresh from the pear , in moist potting soil in a ziplock bag that was mostly closed. and put it in a back corner of my friend’s top refrigerator shelf. That was Sept.14. A few weeks ago--maybe several weeks ago? --way sooner than I expected, they sprouted IN the refrigerator!!! I was not sure what to do, but they started getting leggy, so i put them under the grow light (LED shop light) in the basement. I might have planted more than 3 seeds---i am sure not more than 5, and I planted some the same day in a pot on my friend’s deck. squirrels dug up the dirt in the pot several times, burying nuts, I guess, and I gave up on those. If i plant any outside again, i will put them in a cage. By Feb. 14, The seedlings are about 4 inches tall and have 2 sets of true leaves, working on 3rd!

Such a great video! Question: “When is the best time to plant a pear tree, and what happens to them in the winter?” Thanks so much!

I could not get my apple seeds to sprout. After watching this I realized I probably shouldn't have kept them in the refrigerator. They were apples that I had picked off someone's tree. Then I was eating an apple from the store, and noticed that the seeds started sprouted inside the apple. I decided to plant them along with the unsprouted seeds from the other apples. I looked at them today, and noticed that all of them, are starting to grow. I really did not think the other ones would grow. I'm thinking I am going to have to figure out a way to separate them as they grow a little more. It appears that all of them are growing, which are several. I was so excited to see them. I thought to myself, I wonder if I could get the seeds from the pear I have, to grow like these apples. I came across this video, I will make sure this time I do not put them in the fridge. Anyway, I must say, if the seeds I put in soil, which were not sprouted ended up sprouting, it is quite possible anything will germinate in the dirt.

I did this with 5 pear seeds only 1 germinated, and it took way longer than 2 weeks it took about a month

Two of my pear seeds have sprouted! Do you bury the whole sprouted seed under the dirt, or leave the green bit above the surface of the soil?

I am growing one right now

Fyi D'Anjou are already cold treated seeds since the fruits require a cold ripening period after they are harvested. I'm not sure how it applies to every pear type but some are going to sprout better after cold treatment

Love the long series over the year, thanks!!! I did the brevity, and the point facts. If you ever want acoustic music for your videos let me know, no charge.

I pealed my pear seeds and then put them in a dark draw, after 2days the germinate.after 4 days I planted them. It is faster that way

Cool video. This is a good way to get good rootstock for what will be large grafted trees provided you live in an area with a cool climate where fireblight isn't too bad. There is no reason to think think that the seeds from a commercial pear at a supermarket will have the genetics to be fireblight resistant enough to survive in the SE USA. The seedlings of pear won't be anywhere near true to the parent variety and will most likely be greatly inferior to it in terms of fruit quality. But that's not an issue if you want free rootstock. I plan to do exactly this with some of the seeds I get from the pears I grow for the sake of getting rootstock. I will graft my hard to find southern cultivars onto the seedlings for the purpose of selling. I live in the Deep South and have to grow varieties that are way more fireblight resistant and have a lower chilling requirement than that of Angue or Bartlett for that matter. The seedlings from the varieties I have in my orchard should inherit the FB resistance from their parents, and chilling won't matter since they will be used for rootstock for my cultivars. Note, Angue is a deep storage pear which means those pears were likely in refrigeration for months. That's why the seeds were stratified and ready to germinate. Seeds from a pear right off a tree will need to go into refrigeration for a couple of months before they are ready to germinate. Last note; most commercial rootstocks are selected to have a dwarfing effect on the fruit tree. A European pear grafted onto a European seedling or that is rooted on its own root will make a much larger tree ultimately than most pear trees bought from a nursery. We are talking a 40 foot tree as opposed to a 20 foot or in the case of quince rootstock a ten foot tree.

Do you have any idea why my pear sapling's leaves are shading to a brown color? they are still silky and alive but it just seems odd. The plant is about 2 months old, and it seems to be growing. It had recently sprouted a new leaf and that leaf is. also turning brown but is also not very green. Oddly, the leaf seems to be growing. The plant is underneath an artificial. light indoors in a room-temp environment and is in a plastic cup that isn't that deep. The dirt has some fertilizer in it, and i water it every 1 and a half days.

I heard that to test to see if the seeds you got from the pear are good to grow you should leave them in water overnight and the ones that have risen are not good to grow. The ones that sink can be germinated.

I have a question. If I just took the seeds of a pear can I germinate them right away or do I have to put them for 2-3 months in the fridge? Right now the temperature is very warm where I live (summer) so I don't know if it will work if I try to germinate them right away. Also, I opted for bartlett seeds but from the two pears I ate, one had dark seeds and the other had thin, light colored seeds for some reason. Is this normal?

@RobBackyardGardenerr

Alirala EG hello. I believe it is best to stratify pear seeds. Pear Trees prefer cooler temps over hotter ones so stratifying the seeds should improve your germination ratio. I would recommend doing waiting but if the seeds are from store bought pears and you don't mind giving it a go, then why not? As far as the different color seeds... it's likely that some are viable and some are not. Give them the float test. If they float, they are likely not good seeds. If they sink, the likely are.

@pepo5151

Thanks for replying. So, I left the seeds to dry a bit (inside the house, shade) after taking them out of the pear and I noticed that some parts of the seeds have turned a dark brown color. Now the seeds look weird like if they are dehydrated. I'm no expert in pears but compared to other pears, bartlett pears seem to have weird seeds (if these are actually seeds lol). Anyway, I did the float test and they indeed sunk after I gave them a little push into the water. I'll leave them for an hour or so in the water and then i'll proceed with the germination. Thanks! Oh, and good luck with your pear trees.

Great stuff!!!

I started my apple trees on 1/1 last year and did plant them outside after 7 months since it was still mid summer. I think that starting them now will afford you either choice. The key is to have the young Tree about 1/2" or more in diameter by the time winter hits so that it can withstand the winter. Of course, I took extra precaution and wrapped them just to ensure their survival... good luck!
