The present investigation was carried out at Horticultural Research Centre under Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology Meerut, during 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 seasons to select the promising varieties of pear. The experiment was conducted on a 7-8-year-old pear orchard spaced at a distance of 3 m × 4 m. On four varieties i.e. Baggugosa, Punjab Beauty, Punjab Gold and Punjab Nectar and each replicated thrice. Each treatment consisted of three trees with a total of 12 trees. The obtained results showed that the highest canopy spread (3.765 m), number of fruits per plant (57.995) and fruit yield per plant (6.235 kg) were found to be significant. On the other side, number of flowers per plant (98.98), number of primary branches (6.165), stem girth (31.83 cm), plant height (6.965 m), fruit weight (5 fruits) (122.45 g), fruit length (73.97 mm) and fruit width (58.505 mm) were found to be non-significant. The results of the present study indicate that on the basis of their flowering times, full bloom times and morpho-economic characteristics, Punjab Nectar appeared to be a superior variety in terms of tree morphology and others as moderate. Further, it can be concluded that the variety Punjab Beauty had more productivity and the fruits of Punjab Nectar and Punjab beauty were having more marketable fruit traits.
