Planting & Care

A red-skinned version of the popular Williams pear, with a sweet taste and juicy, melt-in-the-mouth flesh.
Delicious eaten fresh from the tree, and ideal for poaching or making preserves.
A strong and dependable cropper, producing a reliable harvest each year.
Recognised with the RHS Plants for Pollinators award.
A mid-season variety, ready for picking in September.
Blossoms are resistant to damage from late frosts.
Expertly pruned before shipping to encourage a strong, bushy shape.

Species: Pear
Foliage: Deciduous
Habit: Bushy
Hardiness: Fully hardy
Pollination: Partially self-fertile
Sunlight: Full sun, Partial shade
Soil Type: Any fertile, well-drained soil
Flowering: March, April, May
Harvest: September, October, November
Tasting Notes: Sweet, juicy, melt in the mouth flesh
Uses: Eating, poaching, preserves

Planting Time: January, February, March, November, December
Spacing: Plant 4m apart to allow for spreading.
Soil: Prefers fertile, well-draining soil. Can tolerate clay soil if drainage is improved by mixing in horticultural grit or perlite when planting.
Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. Water every other day for the first few months, then reduce to twice a week until autumn. In the second year, water only during dry spells. It is better to water heavily and less frequently to encourage deep root growth.
Feeding: No feeding is required as the tree will get all the nutrients it needs from the soil.
Pruning: Some structural pruning should be done each winter to maintain a productive shape, improve yields, and prevent disease.
Pest & Disease: Has good resistance to most problems. Prune to increase airflow, which helps prevent bacterial disease. Keep an eye out for fire blight or pear scab.
