Product Description

Good disease resistance
High-quality, flavorful fruits
Smooth, grit-free texture
Ripens mid to late August
Often bears by the third year

Gurney's Ambrosia Pear tree produces high yields of huge, golden-brown pears with sweet flavor and an incredibly smooth texture. Unlike many European pears, Ambrosia's fruit have a smooth, not gritty, texture. It also reliably produces annually, not every other year like many other varieties. Ambrosia is a cross between a Honeysweet and a numbered tree, and it starts bearing fruit as early as three years after planting. Other varieties may take up to 8 years. It has a high resistance to fire blight and is available in both standard (25 ft. spread) and semi dwarf (18 ft. spread) sizes. Ambrosia Pear tree prefers full sun and loamy soil. The fruits are ready for harvest in mid to late August. 400 chill hours are required for a successful harvest. PP16759.

Why buy a Deluxe package - Deluxe fruit trees include 2 oz. of Fruit-Boost™ Pelletized Calcium to enhance fruit quality, 12 oz. bag of Fruit Tree Food Starter Formula, easy-to-use tree ties (see video below), a premium tree guard to protect the trunk from gnawing pests, mowers and weed trimmers.

NOTE: We are unable to ship our trees to PO Boxes at this time.
