Pears
We offer a nice selection of Pear trees for sale suited to the British climate. The Pear trees to buy are all dessert varieties apart from two. Most of them have been bred in the UK. Pears trees will grow well in a well drained but moisture retentive soil and will start to fruit early after planting.
Pear trees are usually offered on three rootstocks : Quince A – moderate vigour, a few on Quince C – semi dwarfing and on vigorous Wild Pear. For winter 2024-25 Pear trees are available on Quince A only.
For more information on eventual sizes and spacing see Positioning advice page. Trees are available as barerooted one year ‘maiden’ trees and some as taller two year trees.
Discount information: 5% on 5+ trees, 10% on 10+ trees. Delivery cost: based on quantity ordered. See the How to Order page for more details.
Pear trees are dispatched between early December and late March when dormant.
You are welcome to advance order trees now (fruit bushes can be ordered from August). Payment will be taken when you place your order. We will then be in contact from early December to arrange delivery or collection.
