Bare Root Concorde Pear Tree (BARE ROOT). Click The Link For Containerised Concorde Pear Tree
Concorde pear trees are one of our better sellers as they have several qualities that are worth while having. The large crop of sweet and soft fruit are of a higher quality and will store well. The supple side shoots are excellent for training into different shapes but if you have a small garden then the naturally compact shape will not be too invasive. The fruits are considered medium to large.
It is also a pear tree that will attract the birds and other pollinating insects so be prepared to have a busy garden around flowering time. Another great advantage to the Concorde pear tree is that is has good resistance to mildew and scab. This is not to say that you could put the Concorde pear tree in a mildew and scab research laboratory without a protection suit and expect it to go home uninfected. As with most things, this is all relative. Compared to many other pear trees, the Concorde does not suffer as much with mildew and scab.
The Concorde pear tree has also been given the Royal Horticultural Society award of Garden Merit. We are not sure if the RHS is as "allegedly" corrupt as FIFA and the MP's expenses office so take this information at face value.

Which Type Of Pear Tree Rootstock To Choose:
Those in the horticultural business love their technical lingo, so here is something to help you decipher Gobbeldy Gook from the Green Fingered Brigade. Each rootstock description is made up of several terms from one or more of the following:
Cordon : Columnar shape and short branches. Ideal for space saving and quick fruiting (possibly first year)
Quince C : Will reach approx. 2.5 metres. Fruits quicker than Quince A and Kirchensellar
Quince Eline : Almost identical to Quince C but but has superior cold hardiness.
Quince A : Will reach approx. 3.5 metres. Fruits quicker than Kirchensellar
Kirchensaller: Will reach approx. 6.0+ metres.
Half Standard: Trunk clear of branches for around 1 metre and is traditional tree shaped. Good for gardens e.g. easy mowing and companion planting underneath.
Straight Lead: Much more of a clear trunk than a Half Standard, usually around 2.0 + metres.
Bush : Pruned so that branches start around 45cm from the ground.
Maiden : 1-2 years old and unpruned, ideal for shaping into Fan, Espalier, step over etc
Bare Root : There is no soil or pot around the roots which are wrapped in a bag and are cheaper than containerised.
1 Year : Pear Tree will be between 1 and 2 years old
2 Year : Pear Tree will be between 2 and 3 years old

Fruiting Times For Bare Root Pear Trees
The general rule of thumb with most fruit trees is that the smaller the ultimate height of the tree, the sooner it will bear fruit. Pear trees around 2.5 metres could fruit in 1-2 years whereas those at 6+ metres could be as much as 5 years. Weather can increase or decrease these times.
