Perfect for pots or small gardens, the Trixzie® Pear Mini Fruit Tree (cv Pyvert) (Pyrus communis), is an upright with densely covered branches, with large bright green leaves. This compact tree is ideal for the small garden or for a large planter pot. Trixzie® Pear bears large, slightly rounded, green skinned, full size fruit. This is a self pollinating variety so no other tree is required for a good crop of delicious tasting Pears.

If you think your backyard is too small to grow fruit trees think again! The delightful Mini Trixzie® fruit trees have been developed for the modern smaller gardens and are perfect for pots or courtyards. Small in stature but big on flavour, the fruit these Trixzie® Fruit Trees produce is full size, making them a huge asset in the garden, even if they are not huge in size; making them ideal for small gardens and patios, perfect in pots.

Pears do best in a full sun position in a well fertilised soil, and like all produce plants, correct pruning, regular fertilising and watering will result in an abundance of fruit.

Supplied as a bare rooted tree.

Express Post: If you require your order to be sent Express Post, please call our office and we will arrange a quote. Please Note: Quarantine orders cannot be sent using Express Post; our experience is that it will actually delay your order due to the inspection process required for entry into these states.
Order Split Fee: Some items may be delayed due to climatic or growing habits prevent them from being harvested at the time of being offered for purchase. You will be offered a choice to wait until all items on your order are available or to receive what is currently available for an additional freight charge of $5.00.
We continue to maintain the simplest form of postage costs for the large variety of products we range, however in occasional circumstances of oversized orders and/or delivery location, the cost of freight can significantly impact delivery of an order therefore we reserve the right to refuse the order or contact the customer to discuss freight options and pricing.

Orders containing products from two different seasons (eg Rose or spring bulb pre-orders) that require separate deliveries will incur two delivery charges at the relevant rates (unless a free freight offer applies). A $5.00 Quarantine Inspection Surcharge applies in addition to the Delivery Charge for orders delivered to Tasmania, Northern Territory and Western Australia due to the increased complexity of quarantine requirements.

As quarantine inspections apply to each delivery, 2 quarantine charges will apply where orders contain products from different seasons. *Please note that if you order large items (eg Patio, Standard or Weeping Roses, Fruit Trees) you must specify a street address for the delivery address. StarTrack Express generally do not deliver to PO Boxes or RSD addresses so your order will be held until a suitable address is obtained. In rural areas, StarTrack may deliver to physical addresses such as general stores that act as Australia Post agencies but we suggest you check with them first. Where ”Free Delivery” vouchers apply to an order, details of the voucher should be entered in the “Your message to us” field. Orders (except Pre-orders) are normally despatched within 7-14 working days from the time of ordering during busy periods. Delivery times may be extended during peak periods (typically following the release of the latest catalogue), extended public holidays, if extreme weather conditions are not suitable for live plant transport or as detailed in the product description.
Individual items may be back-ordered to avoid delaying the delivery of other items. Please allow additional delivery time for orders to Tasmania, Northern Territory and Western Australia due to quarantine restrictions.

Please note: Some orders may not be possible to parts of Australia due to quarantine and some items may carry unique delivery charges. Check full delivery policy.

Common Name: FRUIT TREES GENERAL CARE
Planting: (REFER Bare Rooted Trees Below)
General Information: Some fruit trees (see individual varieties) require cross-pollination with another plant of the same species to enable fruit production to occur. Two trees can be planted in the same hole if space is an issue.
Watering: For optimum fruit production trees must to be kept well watered, especially when fruit is forming and ripening. Do not let roots dry out even in their dormant period.
Fertilising: An annual application of fertiliser is essential to assist fruit production.
Pruning: Prune in winter to a vase shape, this will encourage flowers and fruit.
Dislikes: Heavy and water logged soil.
Pests: Fruit Flies and Codling Moth, can be controlled with fungicides or insecticides as required.
Tips: Protect from the wind and frost when young. Keep the area underneath the tree free of grass and weeds, mulch well area but keep away from the trunk to avoid collar rot. Fluctuating temperatures can cause problems with the pollination of fruit.

General Information: BARE ROOTED TREES
Bare rooted trees are an ideal way of transporting items that would normally be too heavy and bulky, during a time when there is very little stress or damage to the plant. Deciduous trees shut down during winter, so this is an ideal time to dig them up and send them out. These quality trees are grown for two years from a planted or grafted tree, so plants are between 1 metre and 1.8 metres tall with a number of branches. For tree seedlings, plants are up to 1 metre tall, and have no branching.
When Your Plants Arrive: Undo the parcel carefully and place the roots in tepid water and soak overnight or at the very least, a few hours. Inspect the roots thoroughly and if there are any that are ragged or broken, trim them with a sharp pair of clean secateurs. Plant the following day; do not let the roots dry out. If the plants arrive in advance of your desired planting time they should be heeled-in. If there is more than one plant to trim, dip secateurs in a solution of bleach and water, or methylated spirits or the like to disinfect them before using them on the different plants.
Heeling-in: To keep bare rooted trees longer than a few days they should be “heeled-in”. Select an open space in the garden, dig one large hole and plant all your bundled bare rooted trees in it and firm down soil. Water in well. They will keep for several weeks if kept watered. Alternatively, plants can be placed into moist potting mix or potted up until a permanent place is ready for the plant.
*NOTE: IT IS MOST IMPORTANT NOT TO LET THE ROOTS DRY OUT AT ANY STAGE OF PLANTING.
Planting: The ideal time for planting bare root trees is during the winter months. Please note, generous watering will be necessary for the first few months until the plants have grown sufficient roots to sustain the foliage. If normal winter/ spring rains are light make sure plants receive supplementary watering- this may mean a bucket of water per day every day until the plant has grown foliage. Check the moisture level around the roots to ascertain if this is required. It should be moist, but not wet at all times. The proposed bed should have been dug over many times prior to planting ready for the plants. A thorough cultivation at the time of planting is a bare minimum. Dig a hole twice as wide as would be necessary to take the roots, and a little deeper, then lightly fill some of the hole in, leaving a mound on which to spread out the roots, which should be placed down and outwards over the small mound at the bottom of the hole. Cover with soil and firm down moderately. Water in well. The bud graft or bud union (if evident) should remain approximately 5cm above soil ***except for Lilac trees where the graft MUST be planted well below the soil to avoid the rootstock growing through. If planting in an area with clay soils, be sure not to dig into the clay, rather build up the garden bed with topsoil, as clay will not allow water to drain away, and will result in the tree roots ‘drowning’. CARE MUST be taken at planting time with the addition of fertilisers, as this may burn the roots. However, the addition of slow release fertiliser in a planting tablet form is beneficial.
Watering: Once the roots are arranged and settled, cover with soil and firm gently. Make a small depression around the tree to stop the water running away, or alternatively use a tree surround to create a well for the water to stay within proximity to the roots. Water thoroughly to settle the soil around the roots.
Fertilising: Fertilise once the plant has its full foliage.
Pruning: Prune trees by about half when planting to encourage vigorous and compact growth. This will encourage a well shaped tree, and also allow the roots and branches a chance to balance up from when they were dug from their original growing spot. Always prune to an outside facing bud, to encourage the tree to develop a lovely shape

Establish which coloured region you live in and then consider the varieties listed as typically suited to that area. The Australian Climate Guide map is intended as a guide only as climatic conditions vary between specific locations. Factors such as local altitude, wind and the proximity of hills, mountains and bodies of water can cause variations from the generalised climate map. Note also that although a plant may be listed as suitable for a particular region, it may still require protection from extremes such as frost or strong winds. You should also consider its requirements for sun, shade and water.

Remember that you can often extend the range of plants that you can grow by creating micro-climates within your garden. Planting under trees, beside brick walls or in the shelter of a building, on high or low points in the garden can all have an effect. Even planting by a pond or surrounded by rocks can be used to advantage. Part of the joy of gardening can be experimenting and nothing is more pleasing that achieving success with a plant that is not usually seen in your area.

The map is based on Australian Bureau of Meteorology 30 year climatology data from 1961-1990. The zones are based on both temperature and humidity:
