- A favourite since the 1700s, 'Williams' Bon Chrétien' is a classic English pear producing large, juicy, yellow fruits with a sweet, rich flavour.
- This dependable and productive variety has been recognised with the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
- Delicious eaten fresh from the tree and an excellent choice for poaching.
- Enjoy an early harvest, with fruit ready to pick from late August.
- Grown on Quince A rootstock, this tree remains a manageable size (4x4m), making it ideal for average gardens.
- Partially self-fertile (Pollination Group 3), it will produce a more reliable crop if a pollination partner from the same or an adjacent group is nearby.
- Your tree arrives expertly pruned to encourage a strong, bushy shape and is supplied in an EcoPot™, which uses 70% less plastic and promotes healthier root growth.
