Description

Pear 'Obelisk' is a compact and columnar variety. It produces medium-sized green pears with a subtle red flush, offering firm, crunchy flesh and a mild, delicate flavor. In the spring, the tree provides further interest with clusters of pretty white flowers which attract bees and other pollinators. Obelisk is self-fertile and thrives with minimal pruning making it a fantastic low-maintenance option. Cropping of the pears occurs early to mid-October, and the pears store well when kept in a fridge. 

We offer Pear Obelisk in Bare Root, which means it is a tree that has been lifted out of the ground during its non-growing season and is supplied without a pot or soil. 

Although part of Quince A, and semi-vigorous, this tree is naturally dwarf, making it perfect for smaller gardens and pot plating. It will thrive in a sunny, sheltered spot with moist but well-drained soils. It has a maximum height and spread of 1.5 x 2.5 meters.

Planting Steps

1Preparation

  • Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
  • Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
  • Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
  • To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.

2Planting

  • Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
  • Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
  • Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
  • Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.

3Last Steps

  • Water generously around the base of the plant.
  • If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.
