Pear Budwood
Pear Budwood
For those looking to graft heritage and unique pear trees, we are happy to provide budwood directly from our orchards!
While our main business is in the finished product (grafted fruit trees), we also like to support those wishing to learn the grafting process for themselves. We can attest that it is a very enjoyable (and rather addictive) pastime!
ORDERING BUDWOOD: Budwood orders must be placed by August 9th. We will be cutting budwood on the 10th and shipping out on August 11th.
We've chosen a small selection of varieties to put online. If you are interested in a variety and don't see it listed, please contact us!
If you are interested in budwood but the sale season has ended, we are happy to add you to our request list for the following summer! Just send us a list of the varieties and quantities you are interested in and we will add you to our list.
SHIPPING/PICKING UP BUDWOOD: Budwood orders will be shipped out August 11th. Shipping will be expedited if necessary to ensure your budwood arrives as soon as possible. Pick up orders can be picked up August 11th. We recommend picking up and grafting your budwood as soon as possible.

History: Luscious was developed at South Dakota State University as a cross between Ewark and South Dakota 31 in 1954. This goal was to create trees suitable for areas like the Northern Great Plains. Luscious was introduced in 1973, likely selected for its cold-hardiness and excellent flavour.
Why We Grow It: Luscious produces small to medium yellow fruits with an attractive red blush. The fruit is quite sweet, great for fresh eating and cooking/baking! This is an excellent option for fans of Bartlett who are looking for a versatile and cold hardy variety! Luscious also has value as an ornamental tree, producing white blooms and glossy green leaves that turn a nice red in the fall.
History: Meigetsu is an Asian pear that originated in Japan. The word 'meigetsu' roughly translates to 'beautiful moon' or 'grand moon.' Its name could also be a shortened version of 'Chushu no Meigetsu,' the Japanese name for the harvest moon in September.
Why We Grow It: Meigetsu Asian pears are pleasantly sweet with the flavour and aroma being compared to pineapples, watermelon, and butterscotch. The flesh is somewhat softer than other Asian pears, making the texture more akin to that of European pears.
