Pear Dual Taylors Gold/Winter Nelis

$89.99

Pyrus communis (European Pear)

Double grafted – two varieties on one tree.

Taylor’s Gold: Medium-sized, russeted Comice pear with crisp, golden-cinnamon coloured skin. Tender, ivory-cream flesh with a sensational, juicy, aromatic flavour. Beautiful dessert pear and ideal for bottling. Mid-late season; harvest April-May.

Winter Nelis: 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.

Tree will grow approximately 5m high x 4m wide. 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.
