Conference Pear Tree
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.

Month of Picking: September

Type of Pear: Eating

Self-fertile/Not self-fertile: This pear is self-fertile so there is no other pear is required for pollination

This variety of pear tree is supplied in a 5-12 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.

Evening Alan, So sorry I haven't been in touch to say: Thank you ever so much for the Fruit trees. They arrived safe and sound. Were planted the next day and look great. Thanks also for the advice and guidance! Genuinely appreciated. We'll be in touch with our next project soon :)Best wishes, Nicki 0117

It was via a magazine that I came across your web site. The idiot proof descriptions and instructions on where to plant or not have been great, and not at all scary! I can't fault the service or the quality of conference pear trees that have arrived. Looking forward to many happy years enjoying them (and possibly an apple and a pear too)! 0516

Thanks very much for sending such excellent young pears. Now planets and thriving. 1114

The order was received when promised, an excellent Conference Pear tree, well packed, the courier obviously a MENSA member, as he left it in a sensible and sheltered place while I was out. I've just ordered another tree, which demonstrates my complete satisfaction! John 0114

Hi Alan, Thanks for the e-mail. Yes, very pleased with the 4 fruit trees which all arrived in one piece, in the right place at the right time. They are now safely growing as cordons against (or rather near) my newly pained back wall. The cardboard from the decent packaging is now on my compost heap. The Prunus Serrula that I bought in August is also flourishing in my front garden. Very pleased with the service, the descriptions and the trees themselves. Regards Pat Dauncey 0913

Fruit Tree Life Expectancy
Most fruit trees will give you AT LEAST 40 years of fruit. Pears can go to 70. Records of 200 year old trees exist but this is the exception, not the rule.

Do I Need To Stake My Bare Root Fruit Tree?
9 out of 10 times the answer will be no, especially if under 200cm tall. However our article on Tree Staking should help guide you.

Planting In The Corner Of A Garden
Air and light is reduced in this location which could promote fungus and bacterial issues. Corners of houses and fences can also suffer leeching issues so we advise against it.
