Pears
Pears flower early mainly during April, and require a long summer to ripen properly. To get the most out of pear trees they need a sheltered position and plenty of sunshine. With this in mind they can be grown well in northern situations.
We offer a selection of Pears suited to the British climate. Offered on moderate vigour Quince A and semi dwarfing Quince C rootstocks, they will grow well in a well drained but moisture retentive soil. If to be planted into a light dry soil the addition of organic matter into the surrounding soil will be beneficial.
We have now sold most Pears and can only offer the varieties detailed below until winter 2010/11
To really enjoy eating pears pick early! Pick when just turning yellowish green and the flesh firm but springy. If picked when ripe on the outside they will often be soft and mushy on the inside. Pears ripen best off the tree in storage.
