‘Conference’ Pear Tree Supply

‘Conference’ Pear Tree

• By some distance the nation’s favourite Pear tree – probably a contender for favourite fruit tree too! Grow in any size of garden or in a pot
• The unmistakable Conference Pear has the softest, melting flesh when ripe – bursting with juice and aromatic flavour
• A very reliable performer in the UK climate, you can be assured of large crops of large, rounded pears within just two years
• One of the best choices for shadier and colder spots and even North facing walls, we recommend Conference for Scotland and Northern areas of the UK
• Any surprise that it has been awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit?
• A late harvest, September to October
• Named after the 1885 National British Pear Conference (oh! To be a fly on that wall) where it was first unveiled
• Can be trained as a cordon, fan or espalier
• 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. Look for pears in the same pollination group, or one either side, to pollinate each other. In built-up areas it is likely that there will be a suitable pollination partner within a mileMORE
• Quince A Rootstock: Max size H4m x W4m. Rootstocks restrict the size of a tree to make it more suited for an average gardenMORE
• Cordon Trained: Trained to be more compact growing only 2m tall and 1m wide. Cordons have been trained to grow up to a smaller height and also very thin. This makes them perfect for smaller garden spaces and also having multiple types of fruit without needing the space for several treesMORE
• Dwarf Option: Very compact max size H1.5m x W1m, perfect for pots. Dwarf trees are pruned and trained to be suitable for growing in pots, on patios. This means they will be fine with their growth being restricted and form a productive little treeMORE
• Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming “leggy”, and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
