Butira Pear was developed in 1956 by A. Morettini as part of the Italian breeding program, through a cross between Coscia and Bartlett. It is mainly cultivated in Italy, Spain, and Portugal. Butira is considered a high-quality dessert pear, enjoyed fresh as well as in many culinary recipes.
The flesh is juicy, sweet-tart, and highly aromatic with a pleasant flavor.
Fruits of Butira Pear are medium to large, averaging 140 grams. The skin is smooth, thin, and glossy, yellow-green at the base, covered with a light red blush on the sun-exposed side. Additionally, the skin has small, slightly varied speckles. Fruits can be stored in cold storage for up to one month.

Due to its early flowering, the buds and blossoms are sensitive to late spring frosts.
You can purchase seedlings of Pear Butira at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.

Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
