Features a striking yellow colour, often with hints of orange or russet, and an incredible buttery texture.
Offers a sweetness similar to Doyenne du Comice, but is more suitable for UK cultivation.
The fruits are of excellent quality, ideal for eating fresh from the tree or for poaching.
A dependable, vigorous, and productive tree, recognised with the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
Designated as beneficial for pollinators, with beautiful blossoms in spring and good frost resistance.
A mid-season variety, ready for harvest from mid-September. Pick while firm and ripen in a fruit bowl.
Our trees are expertly pruned before shipping to encourage a strong, bushy shape.

Species: Pear
Tasting Notes: Sweet and juicy
Uses: Eating, poaching
Flowering Time: March, April, May
Flower Colour: Yellow
Harvest Time: September, October, November
Position: Full sun, Partial shade
Soil Type: Any fertile, well-drained soil
Hardiness: Fully hardy, does not require protection from frost
Habit: Bushy
Eventual Spread: Approx 4m
Fertility: Not self fertile
Pollination: Requires a pollination partner to produce fruit. In most built up areas, it is likely there will be a suitable tree close enough to pollinate (within a mile), but in rural areas you should consider planting another pear tree to aid pollination. This needs to be of the same pollination group or one number to either side.

Planting Time: January, February, March, November, December
Planting: Plant 4m apart to allow for spreading. Our bare root trees are lifted fresh from the field. In winter, you can store for several weeks if kept in a cool, dark spot. In spring, plant within a few days of arrival.
Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. For bare root trees, only water in dry spells going forward. For container grown trees, water every other day for the first few months, then reduce to twice a week until autumn. When watering, give a good soaking rather than little and often.
Feeding: No need to feed - pear trees get all the nutrients they need 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 air flow to prevent bacterial disease. Keep an eye out for fire blight or pear scab.
