Question
Tom, I saw another question to you that mentioned that you had given him instructions for propagating pear trees.  Would you repeat those for me?  Thanks.

Answer
Hi Tim,
Thanx for your question.  If you are asking after instructions for the propagation of pears other than by seed, please refer to the link below.

To propagate from seed bear in mind that most fruit sold in the U.S. is a result of a hybrid.  The seed will not produce a plant similar to the one that produced your fruit due to hybridization.

Pear seeds require a cold period.  You can simulate this in the fridge or you can do it outdoors if you have a significant cold period during your winter.  Plant the seeds about 1/2 inch deep in good potting soil.  Keep the soil moist but not soggy.  Place the pot outdoors where it won't get drowned from rain.  Don't let the soil dry completely out.  Put the pot out now and you should have germinating seeds next spring after the last frost.  To speed this up, you can place the pot inside a plastic baggie and place in the fridge for 90 days.  Bring the pot back out into room temperature (70 F or so) and sprouting should occur in a few weeks.  Place back inside the fridge for another 60 days or until the seeds sprout if this doesn't happen.  Sprouting should definitely occur the second time.  After sprouting, the pot should be placed 8 inches below a 40-watt flourescent shop light until the seedling has 3 or 4 true leaves and is about 4 or 5 inches tall.  Gently prick it out of the pot and repot it separately.  After the last frost, place the seedlings outdoors in a sheltered space that does not get direct sun or extremes in temperatures, wind, rain or hail for about 10 days.  After that, plant the seedling in direct sun.  It will take 5-7 years for the seedling to bear fruit.  I hope this helps.
