Double grafted pear tree – two varieties on one! Save space and plant just one tree which will pollinate with the two varieties. Provides a longer and more varied fruiting season.
Pear Doyenne Du Comice is a delicious dessert variety. Rounded greenish-yellow fruit with pink blush. These pears ripen in autumn – among a beautiful display of fresh, green foliage that develops to yellow tones as autumn envolves.
Conference pears are a vigorous variety that produce good crops of fruit with long necks, green in colour with some russeting and a good juicy flavour! They are mid-season and partially self-fertile with fruit being ready to harvest in and around April.
Plant in a sunny sheltered position where soils are fertile, moist especially during the growing season and when in fruit, and free-draining. May grow to approximately 5m in height – so prune to desired height. If you are looking to have another pear tree, plant near another variety (for pollination) such as Packham’s Triumph, Williams Bon Chretien, Beurre Bosc or Winter Nelis.
