Description
Pear 'Conference' produces long bell-shaped fruits with firm flesh. The best-known variety of all pears. It’s excellent as a dessert pear but also exceptional when cooked. The fruits can be eaten hard or fully ripe with a smooth juicy flavour. Trees crop late in the season, from October to November, and the pears will store until January. Enjoy 'Conference' pears by picking them when slightly under-ripe, then storing them in a cool place and bring indoors to ripen slowly. Grow this hardy fruit tree in full sun. Height and spread up to 300cm (118in). This variety is partially self-fertile, so for the heaviest crops it is best grown with another variety. If you only have room for one tree then make sure that a neighbour has a tree close by that can act as a suitable pollinator. Estimated time to cropping once planted: 2 years. Estimated time to best yields: 5 years. Supplied as 1 x Bare Root Tree (1.2m Tall on Quince A Rootstock).
