Description
- This duo tree consists of two pear varieties grafted onto a single rootstock in a Y or V shape, and makes a great choice for gardeners who only have the space for one fruit tree (but who’d really like more)
- ‘Conference’ is an incredibly popular, heavy-cropping variety which bears delicious, juicy dessert pears with excellent sweetness. It’s also a recipient of the RHS Award of Garden Merit!
- ‘Williams’ Bon Chrétien’ is a variety with fruit as impressive as its name, boasting pears that not only eat well, but that also cook well in pies, crumbles and cakes
- Pear trees are recognised by the RHS as one of its Plants for Pollinators, so you can rely upon your duo tree to bring more bees to your garden
- Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch
- Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots™. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post
- Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming “leggy”, and promote stronger, bushier growth
