Big Fruit. Serious Attraction.

The Turnbull Pear is a unique European and Asian pear hybrid that produces exceptionally large, sweet fruit. With fruit ripening from September into October, it's a great addition for land managers looking to add another highly attractive food source during the heart of fall.

This grafted variety combines strong growth with impressive fruit production, making it an excellent choice for food plot edges, dedicated wildlife orchards, and other strategic locations throughout your property.

Why Plant Turnbull Pear?

Planting Recommendations

Plant Turnbull Pear in full sun for the best growth and fruit production. Space trees approximately 15–20 feet apart to provide adequate room for mature growth and airflow.

Protect young trees from deer browse and rubbing, control competing vegetation around the base, and provide adequate water during establishment. Annual pruning can also help maintain tree structure and encourage future fruit production.

Build Your Fall Food Source

A great habitat plan doesn't rely on a single food source. Adding fruit trees with different drop windows can help keep deer consistently using your property as food availability changes throughout the season.

With big fruit and a September through October drop window, Turnbull Pear gives you another piece of that long-term plan.

Plant with a purpose. Hunt the results.
