Our Doyenne Du Comice pear tree provides medium to large fruits that have been described as excellent eating. We could also say they have been described as "the best possible pear tree ever priced at a level you will not find anywhere else" but that was the website owner talking and his opinion could be biased!
The Doyenne Du Comice pear tree has the RHS award of merit so if you value their opinion then buy this pear tree now.
Should you live in a particularly frosty part of the UK then a Doyenne Du Comice pear will be particularly good purchase because it flowers late when the frosts should have gone. Saying that, Doyenne Du Comice is not so great at resisting scab which is likely to occur in wet and windy conditions (west UK) with an infected tree nearby. So if you live in the country or other remote area your chances of picking up pear tree scab are reduced. You can still buy Doyenne Du Commice for urban areas, you just need to keep a close on it and burn all infected leaves and practice good garden hygene e.g. cutting out all diseased material quickly, mulching and feeding the tree. If you are buying one and want to be as prepared as possible read up on "Pear Tree Scab".
As a tip to get the best from Doyenne Du Comice pears, pick when they are green and store in a cold place. Bring them into a warm environment and they should ripen within a couple of days.

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.
