- You only want one fruit tree.

PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B | It gives a clean orchard look, but the main payoff is fruit production rather than ornamental display. |
| Growth Rate | A- | It grows quickly for a pear, so plan its location before planting. |
| Maintenance | B- | Disease resistance helps, but pears still need pruning, monitoring, and cleanup. |
| Deer Resistance | C- | Young pear trees can be browsed or rubbed, so protection is smart during establishment. |
| Small Space Fit | C | It is not the best fit where space is tight or access for pruning is limited. |
| Screening Value | D | Buy it for pears, not for privacy or year-round coverage. |
