Grow-vs-buy savings
A Grafted pear tree costs around $40 and takes about 4 years before it produces a meaningful crop. Not a quick payback — but once it's established a pear plant returns roughly $114/year in supermarket equivalent (30kg × $3.79/kg) and keeps producing for many years.
Before you buy: Most pears need a compatible pollinator (plant two varieties). Needs 500-1000 chill hours — won't fruit reliably in subtropics unless low-chill nashi or hybrid is chosen.
Realistic yield: Mature tree 30-100 kg per year. Long-lived (50+ years).
Ballpark numbers — yield varies by climate, variety, care and luck. Use as a rough indicator, not a business plan.
