Description
Conference Pear Tree (Dessert), scientifically known as Pyrus Communis ‘Conference’, is one of the most reliable varieties of pear tree.
Renowned for its reliability and productivity, Conference Pear is partially self-fertile, meaning you don’t need another tree for pollination. However, to guarantee a bumper crop of pears, plant it with another tree from the same flowering group (e.g. ‘Williams Bon Chretien’).
Its deciduous nature allows for seasonal changes, providing interest and beauty throughout the year.
This dessert pear tree becomes covered with pure white flowers in mid-spring, followed by delicious, long, olive green fruits in late September. We estimate that your best yields will happen just 5 years after planting.
Broadly columnar in shape, Pyrus Communis Conference is ideal for an open, sunny site. It will reach a height of around 4 metres and grow with a spread of about 3 metres after a 20 year period.
Enjoy growing your own delicious pears with this lovely tree.
