Planting & Care

The nation's most popular pear, Conference is a superb choice for any garden, large or small, and is also ideal for container growing.
Enjoy the distinctive flavour of its incredibly soft, juicy flesh when ripe.
A reliable choice for the UK climate, it produces consistently heavy crops of large pears, often within just two years of planting.
Exceptionally versatile, it thrives even in cooler, shadier spots and against north-facing walls, making it highly recommended for Scotland and northern regions.
Recognised for its excellence with the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
Harvest your delicious pears late in the season, from September to October.
Named after its introduction at the 1885 National British Pear Conference.
Can be trained into various forms, including cordon, fan, or espalier.
Partially self-fertile, but yields improve with a nearby pollination partner.
Available in multiple sizes: standard (4m), compact cordon (2m), and dwarf (1.5m) for pots.
Trees are expertly pruned before dispatch to encourage a strong, bushy shape.

Species: Pear
Flowering Time: March - April
Harvest Time: September - October
Planting Time: All Year Round
Sun: Full sun
Eventual Spread: 4m
Hardiness: Fully Hardy. Doesn't require any protection from frost.
Pruning: Some pruning should be done each winter to ensure that your Pear Tree maintains a productive shape. This can improve yields and prevent disease.
Tasting Notes: Soft, juicy flesh with a mildly sweet, aromatic flavour.
Fertility: 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. Pears 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.
Pollination Group: 4. Trees that flower at the same time can pollinate each other. Trees can usually pollinate a group on either side of their own (e.g., Group 4 can be pollinated by 3, 4, and 5).
Uses: Eating, Poaching

Planting: Plant year-round in a sunny spot. Suitable for gardens of any size, container planting, or training against a wall. Tolerates cooler, shadier locations, including north-facing aspects.
Pollination: Partially self-fertile (Pollination Group 4). For best results and heavier crops, plant with another pear from pollination group 3, 4, or 5.
Pruning: Prune in winter to maintain shape and encourage fruit production. Can be trained as a cordon, fan, or espalier.
Harvest: Pears are ready to be picked from September to October.

Product Specifications

Height on Arrival: 200-250cm inc. rootball (Air-Pot® sold separately)
Supplied As: Air-Pot® Grown Rootballed Tree. This tree is grown in an Air-Pot®, which promotes healthy root growth by air-pruning roots and preventing root spiralling. Before delivery, we will unclip the Air-Pot® and wrap the tree's rootball in hessian so that your tree can be transported safely and we can reuse the pot. You can also purchase the Air-Pot® separately if you prefer and we will send the tree in the pot in which it was grown.
