Planting & Care

Ideal for limited spaces, these low-growing stepover trees create an attractive border for beds without blocking sunlight.
Choose from renowned varieties like the award-winning ‘Concorde’ for outstanding flavour, the beloved dessert pear ‘Conference’, or the classic, juicy ‘Williams' Bon Chrétien’.
Our growers have completed the initial training, so your tree is ready to establish in your garden.
Bare root trees are delivered in a Y shape with two main branches, ready for you to train into a horizontal T shape.
These trees are perfect for pollinators and produce consistently abundant fruit year after year.

Your bare root stepover tree will arrive in a Y shape. You will need to gradually train the two main branches into a T shape on a horizontal frame.
Prune every summer to maintain the tree's shape and encourage fruiting. Trim new side shoots from the horizontal arms to within a few leaves of the basal cluster. For previously pruned shoots, cut them back to a single leaf beyond the basal cluster. Remove any upright shoots growing from the arms.
While generally robust, the tree can sometimes be affected by aphids, caterpillars, and pear scab.
Pear trees follow the same care principles as apple trees.
