Chosen for its very juicy, delicious flavour, Beurre Hardy (Pyrus communis 'Beurre Hardy') is recognised by its medium to large sized fruits which are a russet brown colour with a vague hint of red. Grows well in the UK and produces heavy crops of pears. 

Month of Picking: September

Type of Pear: Eating

Self-fertile/Not self-fertile: This pear is not self-fertile so it is necessary to have another pear for pollination

This pear is in flowering period is C4. 

How to chose a suitable pollination partner:

To make it easy to match this pear with a suitable pollination partner we have used a series of codes, which are C1, C2, C3, C4 and C5 and relate to flowering periods.  Every pear variety we sell will have one of these codes. 

The code we have given this pear tree means that you need to find another pear with the same code or one less or one more, so for example, if the pear is code C4, then another pear variety with code C3 or C5 would be suitable to act as a reliable pollination partner.

This variety of pear tree is supplied in a 12 litre container, which means that the tree can be planted any time of the year and with better results than either bare-root or rootballed trees.
