Pear Tree Information

Pear Tree Information

Pears can be grown in all forms. Standard trees make large heavy cropping trees at 12ft or so aftter 10 years,Cordons and Espalliers train very well and easilly,often utilising walls not suitable for other fruit. Having said that they benefit from sheltered well drained sites to produce top quality fruit.
Pears benefit from early picking and storing in a cool place, bringing them into the house a few days before they are required.
