Pair Of Conference Pear Trees Bare Root
'Conference' Pear produces a large crop of fruits 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 in to a ripe one! 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 perfect for you to grow because it is very heavy cropping and when picked unripe, it is great for keeping for 2 or more months. 'Conference' is largely 'self fertile' and is supplied on dwarfing Quince rootstock.Supplied as a pair of 1.2m tall, grower quality, multi-branched 'bare root' trees.CarePlant fruit trees at their original soil level, firm them into the ground

In between, replace the top couple of inches of compost.A good mulch will help to retain water and therefore reduce the need to water as frequently, and will prevent weeds from competingYour pear tree will not need drastic pruning, just remove any crossing or damaged branches. Any lower branches can be removed if you want to give you a clear trunk. Otherwise in subsequent seasons cut back any strongly growing branches by one third to promote the
formation of fruiting spurs.Contents2 x Bare root trees
