The ornamental pear and its cultivars, Redspire and Aristocrat are the tallest of the flowering trees, reaching up to 50 feet high. Fauer is the smallest at a diminutive 20 feet tall. The Capital variety is in between, reaching up to 35 feet in height.
Asian pear trees easily begin bearing in the 3rd and 4th growing seasons and are producing several bushels per tree by the 6th growing season. Most varieties need to be spaced a minimum of 10 to 15 feet in the row with rows spaced 16 to 20 feet apart. The training/pruning program is similar to that for European pears.
