Pear Taylors Gold

$66.99

Pyrus communis ‘Taylor’s Gold’ (European Pear)

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.

Partially self-fertile, but for best fruit set, cross-pollinate with Pears ‘Beurre Bosc,’ ‘Winter Nelis,’ and Nashis. Upright growth habit with medium vigour. Pear trees are excellent for espalier training. Grows approximately 4m high x 3m 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. Grows well in cooler areas with mild summers. Shelter from wind and protect new growth from spring frosts.
