They are more tolerant of wet conditions than many other trees, but they still need good drainage.Asian pears reach about 20 feet tall.They are spring blooming and summer fruiting, and grow in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 6 through 9. Young trees need pruning to give them a good structure. Older trees are pruned for maintenance and to remove old non-bearing spurs.hey are more tolerant of wet conditions than many other trees, but they still need good drainage.

Pyrus calleryana 'Cleveland Select' has a wider spread at between 3-6m making this selection suitable for grand avenue plantings. Both of these selections grow to 11 metres tall. A favourite of ours is Pyrus ussuriensis or Manchurian Pear as it grows more open and oval shaped at 9 metres tall by 7 metres wide.This is a popular and beautiful tree particularly planted as a single specimen where its shape, colour, flower and leaf can be fully appreciated.astly we have Pyrus 'Nivalis' (Snow Pear) growing 8 metres tall by 5 metres wide. This tree has a narrower leaf resembling that of a willow. Maybe plainer in looks to all the others, Nivalis is denser growing which makes it suitable for screening.
