Pyrodwarf is a clonal Pyrus communis rootstock developed to reduce growth compared with pear seedlings while retaining excellent cultivar compatibility. It is winter hardy, well anchored, produces few suckers and resists lime-induced chlorosis. Its vigour is often comparable to Quince A or BA29, so it should not always be regarded as genuinely dwarfing, particularly on fertile soils or with vigorous cultivars.

Pyrodwarf is a semi-vigorous rootstock compatible with all European pear varieties.
Pyrodwarf is a semi-vigorous cold-hardy rootstock, compatible with all European pears and Perry pears, and some Asian pears. It produces a mature tree with a height between 4m – 5m, and fruit production should start at the age of 2-4 years.
No staking is required once the tree is established.
Trees grafted on Pyrodwarf can be grown as bushes or half-standards and should be planted 4m – 5m apart.
This is also a good rootstock for grafting large fan and espalier pear trees – allow a spread of up to 4m.
If you are planting a mixed pear and apple orchard it is useful to know that the Pyrodwarf rootstock will produce a tree that is roughly equivalent to the apple trees on the MM111 rootstock.
