4ft Duo Pear Tree – Conference/Doyenne Du Comice

These fruit trees have two varieties of Pear growing on the same tree. They are self pollinating but mutual pollination is also possible. ‘Doyenne du Comice’ is a popular variety of dessert pear, bearing delicious pears in mid-to late autumn. ‘Conference’ Pear produces a large crop of fruit with clear white flesh that are ready to pick each September. The long, tapering fruits are packed with an irresistible sweetness and lip-smacking juice that will drip from your chin when you bite into one that is perfectly ripe! Because of its outstanding flavour, it remains the most popular pear grown in Britain by a long measure, both in commercial orchards and home gardens. It is ideal for you to grow because it is very heavy cropping and when picked unripe it’s great for keeping for 2 or more months. Pear trees blossom extremely early in spring, so for best results grow them against a south-facing wall or fence, where they will be protected from frost. Mulch annually and water in dry spells. As with most pears, pick the fruit when still firm and allow it to ripen indoors.
