Subarashii Kudamono, a local Pennsylvania grower, provides Asian pears that are handpicked, hand-sorted and packed individually in protective sleeves to ensure the delicate, juicy fruit arrives just as it left the tree—perfect. Asian pears are wonderful: dramatic-looking, sweet, juicy and crunchy. A seasonal total of 40 to 60 pounds of fruit shipped in three intervals during the fall months costs $195, including shipping.

The Adopt-A-Tree program allows customers to watch a fruit tree grow via photos and email updates from the farm before receiving delivery. Asian pear tree adoption also makes for great gift for friends; memorable team-building incentive for staff, co-workers or clients; the ideal present for the hard-to-shop-for relative; an educational project for a classroom; and the best wedding gift for the newlywed couple that has everything.
