I've been searching this forum and other options for a late dropping pear that is cold hardy enough to handle zone 4B (my place) and 3/4A (a buddy's place that is also looking) and haven't had much luck. I'd like to find something that holds into October and November would be even better.
A few options along with questions on each
1. Midwest Deer Trees: I found this nursery in some searches. https://www.midwestdeertrees.com/deer-pear-trees.html Does anyone have any firsthand knowledge of their pear trees? I saw a personal reference on this forum, but couldn't find anyone that could speak to the trees themselves.
2. The Wildlife Group has a "Late Drop Pear Package". I'm waiting on an email back from them, but my hunch is that they aren't going to make the zone 4 cutoff.
3. Blue Hill Wildlife Nursery had some that might work for me (4b), but they were out of stock and that seems to be a common theme. I'm guessing that ship has sailed for planting in 2022. If I end up having to punt until 2023, when do they start selling their stock?
Are there any other options that I'm missing?
Thanks in advance.
