ComparePre-trained as a single-tier espalier, this tree is ideal for growing against a wall or fence. When mature, it takes up less area than a normal bush tree. See the Espaliers product category for details. Collection only, as it’s containerised and too bulky to deliver. Unlike most of our trees, we can supply espaliers all year round if we have them in stock.

Originated in the UK and first exhibited at the National Pear Conference in 1885, hence its name. Since then it has become the most widely grown commercial pear in the UK & much grown on the continent.
