Pears Grown in All Louisiana Sections Public guidance on varieties and care

Louisiana farmers can grow pears across the state using Pineapple Hood Garber LeConte Kieffer and Orient varieties. Pineapple and Orient resist fire blight best. LeConte matures late July to early August, others in September. Harvest when two thirds to three fourths grown and ripen at 60 to 62 degrees for two to three weeks. Fertilizer advice favors complete 8-8-8, early spring growth, and leaf disease control with Fermate Bordeaux and copper sprays. County agents can provide spray schedules and planting guides.
