Semi Dwarf Blake's Pride Pear Tree on OHxF 333 (Pyrus communis ‘Blake’s Pride’) is a high-quality, disease-resistant pear variety prized for its golden-yellow fruit with a warm russet blush and juicy, buttery flesh. The flavor is sweet, mildly aromatic, and well-balanced, making it excellent for fresh eating, canning, or baking. Noted for its strong resistance to fire blight, Blake’s Pride is a reliable late-season pear that stores well under refrigeration. Grafted onto OHxF 333 rootstock, this semi-dwarf tree offers controlled vigor, early bearing, and adaptability—perfect for home orchards and smaller garden spaces.
Growing Semi Dwarf Blake’s Pride Pear Tree on OHxF 333
Light: Requires full sun for optimal fruit ripening, sweetness, and productivity.
Soil: Thrives in fertile, well-drained soil; amend with compost to improve performance. Avoid poorly drained or waterlogged sites.
Water: Provide deep, consistent watering during the growing season, especially during fruit development. Reduce after harvest.
Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced orchard fertilizer in early spring and midsummer to encourage healthy growth and yields.
Pollination: Not self-fertile; requires a compatible pollinator such as Bartlett or Harrow Sweet for consistent crops.
Maintenance: Prune in late winter to shape the tree, improve airflow, and maintain productive fruiting wood. Thin fruit in early summer to improve size and quality.
Hardiness: Best suited for USDA zones 5–9. Fruit ripens in mid- to late fall and stores well under cool conditions.
