Description
 
● Kieffer pear trees are good to be grown in USDA zones 4 through 9, making this pear tree the best variety for Preppers. Pollination is not required to set fruit; and for the Kieffer pear to set flowers leading to heavy pear yields, ripening in October through November, the number of chill hours is 400. Yields are very high per tree and can produce as many as ten bushels of fresh pears annually when in optimal conditions. Harvest these pears when they are firm and have a yellow-green color and then let stand to fully ripen. This is a hard pear–it’s like a crisp, sweet apple–and tastes great picked right off the tree. Plant your Prepping pear trees in full sun with a well-drained soil; if you soil is a compacted soil (i.e., clay) then dig your hole twice as wide as normal. This variety has been hand selected by Prepper Gardens because it is the most productive and versatile pear tree. The fruit is perfect for canning to increase shelf life, for fresh eating, or for attracting deer to be hunted for meat to last your family through the cold winter. Pear preserves are great and are another perfect way to use the abundance of pears to increase the shelf life of the fruit. In terms of food preparation for Preppers, this is an absolute key to survival; the Kieffer pear is a truly great low cost fruit tree.

● The Kieffer pear tree is an absolute can't-live-without fruit tree for your garden, because fireblight is not an issue, as it is with other pear trees.

1 of 5 Not much roots remain. January 28, 2020
Reviewer: Fred McLeod from Callaway area, FL United States  
The purpose of this communication is to apprise you of a less than desirable situation and possible future need for a replacement.  Our order #1443 arrived today and I’m sorry to say it is disappointing. It is indeed the proper height, even with terminal growth trimming.  However, there was little root system remaining on the plant.  Furthermore, the tap root, which was a good one-inch thick, had been completely cut thru approximately five inches below the graft.  I want to be optimistic, but it’s hard to see how this nice tree will be able to regenerate from such a drastic root modification, especially since all of its hair roots were also lost during the digging.  I will obtain some root stimulator in an effort to encourage root development and hope for the best.

5 of 5 Preserves March 3, 2014
Reviewer: Chery Luna from Reklaw, Texas  
I mixed raising, walnuts and cinnamon to pears to make an awesome preserve.  After sharing with a couple of friends, they were coming back for more.  It is a hit here in Texas and in Pennsylvania when we lived there a few years.

I did not measure anything, just used the "taste" method.
