Don't Forget To Add These for Your Plants:

Tenn 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.  Improved fire blight resistance and low chill requirement of 150-450 hours.
