Conference Pear Tree (BARE ROOT) Click The Link For Containerised Conference Pear Trees
Conference pear trees are quite possibly the most popular pear tree we sell and you can see why. It is suitable for almost all UK locations in terms of weather (Light house patio gardens and severe weather research stations not included!) and the large and reliable crop of pears make it even more an attractive option.
Compared to other pear trees, the Conference pear has good resistance to Mildew and Scab. The emphasis here is resistance not immunity so good practice still applies such as not pruning when wet.
The Conference pear tree is also a good attractant of birds, insects and wildlife so if you like a busy garden in the Spring then a Conference pear tree will help bring them in.

See What Our Customers Are Saying About Our Bare Root Conference Pear Trees
Dear Alan, Our bare root conference pear tree arrived in very quick time with no complaint from the delivery man. It then stood in our children's playroom for a couple of days and behaved itself impeccably. It did NOT empty out the children's toys on the floor or use their crayons to scribble on the walls. (Unlike the children....) It is now planted on our allotment, guarding the compost heap. I will let you know if it refuses to wave to us when we to work on the allotment. This is not the first tree we've had from you; in fact I believe it is the eighth, and all have been perfect gentlemen in transit and when they arrived at our house. Best Wishes Clare Auty 0316

Usually no, especially if under 200cm tall. Our article on Tree Staking should help guide you.
Planting In The Corner Of A Garden
Usually air and light is reduced and if it is a corner with a wooden fence and the house then leeching from both could compound issues. Try to avoid.
1 Year Maiden Bare Root Trees
If you plant a 1 Year maiden tree and do not prune it at all, it will grow a little more upright and have more clear stem.
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.
