- Planting & Care
- Enjoy the nation's most popular pear, a top choice for fruit trees suitable for any garden size or container planting.
- Bite into incredibly soft, juicy flesh with a distinctive, aromatic flavour when perfectly ripe.
- A reliable choice for the UK climate, it thrives even in cooler, shadier spots and north-facing walls, producing abundant crops within two years.
- Highly recommended for gardens in Scotland and northern regions of the UK.
- Awarded the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit for its outstanding performance.
- Harvest your delicious pears late in the season, from September to October.
- Partially self-fertile, but produces a heavier crop when cross-pollinated with another pear tree blooming at the same time.
- Available in various sizes to suit your space: a standard tree (4m), a compact cordon (2m), or a dwarf option (1.5m) perfect for pots.
- Arrives expertly pruned to encourage a strong shape and vigorous, bushy growth.
- Species: Pear
- Flowering Time: March, April
- Harvest Time: September, October
- Planting Time: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December
- 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
- Pollination: Partially Self-Fertile. 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 on 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: This versatile tree can be planted at any time of year. While it prefers a spot in full sun, it is notably tolerant of cooler, shadier locations, including north-facing walls, making it ideal for less-than-perfect spots in the garden. It can be grown directly in the ground, in a large container, or trained against a wall or fence.
- Pruning: Prune annually in winter to maintain a productive and healthy shape. This will help improve fruit yield and prevent disease. This variety is suitable for training as a cordon, fan, or espalier to save space.
- Pollination: This pear is in Pollination Group 4 and is partially self-fertile, meaning it will produce some fruit on its own. However, for a more abundant harvest, it is best planted near another pear tree from Group 3, 4, or 5. In most urban and suburban areas, a suitable pollination partner is likely to be growing in a neighbouring garden within a mile.
