Don't Forget To Add These for Your Plants:

Hood Pear is a fast-growing deciduous tree with an upright habit and attractive spring flower display but primarily grown for its crop of large summer fruit.  Clusters of fragrant of white flowers bloom in mid spring.  The large yellow-green fruits are firm with buttery smooth flesh.  Grows best in full sun and rich, moist well-drained soils. 

Hood is partially self-pollinating so cross-pollinating will increase yield, is highly resistant to fire blight, and has a low chill requirement of 100-200 hours.
