Sensation Pear Tree (BARE ROOT)
The Sensation pear tree is a good eating apple tree that provides fruit late in the season but also provides a striking shiny red foliage with white flowers that really makes it stand out in your garden. The only other way we can think of to make this tree stand out more is to hire cheap labour (maybe from less economically affluent areas of the EU) to stand in your garden with a large sign saying "look at my pear tree" and arm them with a megaphone for them to attract others attention, although you may need to work on their accent first!
Month Of Fruiting: September
Type of Pear: Eating and Cooking
Fertility: C5 requires another pear tree to produce fruit from pollination groups C4 or C5.

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.
