Pyrus communis (European Pear)

Double grafted – two varieties on one tree.

Doyenne Du Comice: Large, classic, gourmet dessert pear. Slightly rounded fruit with yellow-green skin blushed red, deepening in colour as it ripens. Very juicy, melting flesh with rich flavour reminiscent of sweetened cinnamon. Fruit ripens mid to late-autumn. High chilling hours needed to set fruit.

Beurre Bosc: Superb, quality eating pear with, large, brown, long-necked fruit. Flesh is sweet, juicy and buttery in texture with the taste developing after 3-4 weeks in the refrigerator. Has high chilling requirements to set fruit. Regular and heavy, mid-season cropper. Harvest April.

Tree is vigorous with an upright and spreading habit. 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. Shelter from wind and protect new growth from spring frosts.
