Planting & Care

The UK's most popular pear, a top choice for any garden, patio pot, or container.
Enjoy incredibly soft, juicy flesh with a sweet, aromatic flavour when perfectly ripe.
A reliable choice for the UK climate, producing heavy crops of large pears within two years.
Thrives even in cooler, shadier spots and on north-facing walls, making it ideal for Scotland and northern regions.
Awarded the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit for its outstanding performance.
Harvest your delicious pears late in the season, from September to October.
Available in a range of sizes: a standard tree on Quince A rootstock (4m), a compact Cordon (2m), or a Dwarf (1.5m) perfect for pots.
Partially self-fertile; for the best crops, plant near another pear tree from the same or adjacent pollination group.

Species: Pear
Flowering Time: March - April
Harvest Time: September - October
Sunlight: Full sun
Eventual Spread: 4m
Hardiness: Fully Hardy - Doesn't require any protection from frost.
Tasting Notes: Soft, juicy flesh with a mildly sweet, aromatic flavour.
Uses: Eating, Poaching

Planting Time: Can be planted all year round.
Pollination: Partially self-fertile (Pollination Group 4). Will fruit better when pollinated by another Pear tree. To pollinate, they must be within a mile's radius of each other and flower at the same time. Trees in the same pollination group, or one either side, can pollinate each other. In built-up areas, it is likely a suitable partner will be nearby.
Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. For bare root trees, you won't need to water regularly going forward, only in dry spells. For a container-grown tree, water every other day for the first few months, then reduce to twice a week until autumn. In the second year, it should be established enough to only require watering when needed. It is better to water heavily and less frequently than little and often.
Feeding: This is not a hungry plant and does not require feeding.
Pruning: Some pruning should be done each winter to ensure your Pear Tree maintains a productive shape. This can improve yields and prevent disease.
Rootstock Explained: Pear varieties are grafted to rootstocks to control their size. Quince A rootstock limits trees to about 4m tall, perfect for smaller spaces. They can be trained to a smaller size by pruning or by restricting the roots in a pot.
