{"product_id":"magness-pear-tree","title":"Magness Pear Tree","description":"\u003cp\u003eDeveloped by the USDA in the 1960's for its incredible fire blight resistance, the Magness pear tree is a vigorous grower that rewards patient gardeners with a late-season harvest. The tree is named in honor of Dr. John R. Magness, long time director of the USDA's apple and pear breeding program. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The fruit itself is a dessert-quality masterpiece, boasting a buttery, grit-free texture and an aromatic, honeyed sweetness inherited from its Comice and Seckel parentage. In a unique twist of botanical irony, the Magness is pollen-sterile, meaning it requires a companion tree to set fruit but cannot act as a pollinating partner for its neighbors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has a unique ability among pears to fully ripen while still on the tree and is an excellent keeper. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUSDA Zone: 5-10\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMature Heights:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOHxF 97: ~17-21' tall; Semi-Dwarf \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSun: Full Sun\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvest Date: Late August\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePollination: Required\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"OHxF97 Rootstock traits\" href=\"https:\/\/catalog.extension.oregonstate.edu\/sites\/catalog\/files\/project\/pdf\/pnw341.pdf\"\u003eOHxF 97 Rootstock Characteristics\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roots to Fruits Nursery","offers":[{"title":"OHxF 97 17-21' tall at Maturity \/ Maiden Bare Root Tree Ships 3-5’ or ½\" Caliper","offer_id":45776233070788,"sku":"bare root","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"OHxF 97 17-21' tall at Maturity \/ Field Ready Bare Root Tree Ships 5-6' or ⅝\" Caliper","offer_id":45776233103556,"sku":"bare root","price":41.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"OHxF 97 17-21' tall at Maturity \/ Hand Select Bare Root Tree Ships 6-7' or ¾”+ Caliper","offer_id":45776233136324,"sku":"bare root","price":51.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"OHxF 97 17-21' tall at Maturity \/ 3G Container Ships 4-6' or ¾”+ Caliper","offer_id":45776233169092,"sku":"container","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"OHxF 97 17-21' tall at Maturity \/ 10G Container Ships 7-8' or 1”+ Caliper","offer_id":45776233201860,"sku":"container","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/6911\/2772\/files\/IMG_3204.jpg?v=1771626381","url":"https:\/\/rootstofruitsnursery.com\/products\/magness-pear-tree","provider":"Roots to Fruits Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
