Description

This family pear tree has 3 different varieties of pear grafted onto 1 tree. The 3 main branches each produce a separate pear variety. This means that it benefits from being self fertile.

Family fruit trees makes a wonderful choice when there is room for just 1 tree and are perfect for those that don't want a large crop of the same variety. We also think they makes a lovely unique gift.

The varieties of pear on this 3 in 1 pear tree are Conference, Williams' Bon Chretien and Doyenne du Comice. All 3 are popular for their delicious tastes.

Conference pears are long in shape, have juicy, firm flesh and a sweet, rosewater flavour. Williams' Bon Chretien pears have pale green skin and sweet, highly juicy flesh. Doyenne du Comice have an outstanding juicy texture and a sweet taste.

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.

Aftercare Advice

Trees and shrubs require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.
