 I don't think there is much difference between growing apple and pear trees (and most other trees bearing fruit), if you want decent fruits you need to turn to vegetative propagation with grafting, cutting or layering etc. [[Special:Contributions/172.69.109.6|172.69.109.6]] 05:56, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

	It should also be noted that pears picked ripe off the tree are often inferior to ones that have been picked a week or two early and ripened off the tree. Ripening on the tree produces more gritty particles in the pear as compared to ripening off the tree. These gritty particles are made by cells similar to those that form the stone in peaches. In any case, a pear "fresh off the tree" would either be unripe, or gritty. Unless the machine picks it green and hold it until is completes ripening before dispensing it.[[Special:Contributions/108.162.241.154\|108.162.241.154]] 11:04, 1 October 2019 (UTC)		It should also be noted that pears picked ripe off the tree are often inferior to ones that have been picked a week or two early and ripened off the tree.

 Beret Guy may just have a good idea. Why not put up a seed dispenser with a sign: "Plant a pear tree: 50¢"? Any unwanted seedlings could easily be removed--even accidentally by lawn mowers--within the first few years, and wanted trees would last a long time, benefit the environment, and produce food for people and animals. --[[Special:Contributions/162.158.74.51|162.158.74.51]] 21:31, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
