🏞️ Product Description:
The Granddad Pear is a deliciously sweet, round-shaped pear variety prized by both people and wildlife alike. Known for its rich flavor and self-pollinating nature, this tree makes pear growing easy and productive, even in smaller spaces or less-than-ideal orchard setups.

Dropping ripe fruit late in the season—from October through November—Granddad Pear provides critical late-fall nutrition for whitetails and other game preparing for winter, while also offering a flavorful treat for harvest.

🦌 Late-Season Sweetness for Wildlife:
