Pear tree prices depend on several factors. On the one hand, the type of pear plays a role. The rarer the variety is bred, the higher the price. The size of the tree is also reflected in the price.

How much does a pear tree cost?

For some pear trees you have to put down more money than for others. Expensive are:

  • Rare pear varieties
  • standard trees
  • older trees
  • Small breeds
  • new breeds

Especially new breeds can cost a few hundred euros. Pear trees, which have to be cultivated at great expense, small trees or columnar plants also have their price. You have to invest between 50 and 100 euros for these trees.

Inexpensive alternatives for buying pear trees

If you don't want to spend that much money, choose cheaper alternatives.

  • Commonly grown pear varieties
  • pear bushes
  • Pear trees from other hobby gardeners

Inexpensive pear trees are often available for less than 20 euros. Trees from hobby gardeners are sometimes exchanged for other plants.

Free alternative: grow a pear tree yourself

You don't have to pay a cent for your own pear trees. You gain new trees by grafting scions from healthy trees onto a rootstock.

But it takes a few years for the tree to bear the first fruits. This solution is therefore only suitable for garden lovers with a lot of patience and tact for the propagation of pear trees.

Buy trees in the tree nursery or order them online

Many mail order companies offer pear trees in almost all varieties and growth forms on the Internet. These offers are often cheaper than trees from the nursery. However, you must not forget the rather high shipping costs.

Buying from a tree nursery has the advantage that you can choose “your” tree yourself. You will receive free advice on how to properly plant and care for the pear tree. You can take the tree home with you and immediately plant it in the garden.
