$57.99

Pyrus communis ‘Winter Nelis’ (European Pear)

A very good, late eating pear with excellent storage qualities. Small, green fruit with reddish russet patches and buttery, rich-flavoured flesh. Late season; harvest in May.

Cross-pollinates with Pears ‘Beurre Bosc,’ ‘Doyenne du Comice,’ ‘Taylor’s Gold,’ and Nashis. Pear trees are excellent for espalier training. ‘Winter Nelis’ has a sparse and spreading growth habit. Grows approximately 6m high x 4m wide in 10 years.

Requires a full sun position for best fruit development. Pears are deep rooted and will grow in most soil types. Tolerant of wet soils in the summer, though not in winter. Pears grow well in cooler areas with mild summers but ‘Winter Nelis’ is a variety that performs well in warmer areas. Shelter from wind and protect new growth from spring frosts.
