Conference pears (Pyrus communis 'Conference') are another well-known pear.  A sweet and juicy pear, Conference produces very good, reliable crops. Conference pear is also self-fertile, which means there is no need for another pear to be assured your pear crop. The fruits are a medium sized, yellow-green colour with a browny russet colour over parts of the fruit. We suggest picking in September and the pears are then ready for eating during October and November.

General Fruit Tree Life Expectancy
