Pear (Pyrus) Conference 12 Litre Potted Plant x 2

Pear 'Conference' is the UK’s most popular pear variety – and for good reason. This versatile fruit can be enjoyed firm and crisp straight from the tree or ripened to a soft, juicy texture with a sweet, mellow flavour. It’s ideal for eating fresh or using in cooking and baking. The attractive, long, bell-shaped fruits are produced late in the season, from October to November, and can be stored well into January for extended enjoyment.

‘Conference’ is partially self-fertile, so it will produce some fruit alone, but crops are significantly improved with a pollination partner nearby. Perfect for British gardens, it thrives in well-drained soil with good sun exposure and will establish well when planted in autumn or spring. With a little patience and care, this pear tree will reward you with delicious harvests for years to come.

How to Grow:

Light: Plant in full sun for the best fruit development.

Temperature: Hardy in UK climates; mulch roots in winter to protect young plants.

Watering: Water deeply after planting and during dry periods.

Feeding: Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring; mulch annually with compost or well-rotted manure.
