COMICE, D'ANJOU, BARTLETT AND BOSC PEARS ALL ON THE SAME TREE!!
These Multilbudded pear trees are on OHxF333 Rootstock. Included are: Comice, D'Anjou, Bartlett and Bosc Multi-Budded. Always plant the smallest limb (the "weakest" bud) to the south/southwest to insure that it gets plenty of sun. Cut back the strongest growing varieties by two thirds. Cut back the weakest variety by one half, or not at all. Do not let one variety takes over, or one (or more!) of the others may fail. Prune back the more aggressive limbs. Summer-prune when necessary in order to let sunlight get to all the developing varieties. After the third season, maintain the multi-budded tree so that each fruit-type grows in balance with the others. A multi-budded fruit tree will produce more variety and a longer harvest from a limited space.
