This dessert pear tree is covered with pure white flowers in mid-spring, followed by delicious, juicy, yellow-skinned fruits. A reliable cropping variety, it's an ideal small tree for an open, sunny site. - Garden care: Plant as soon as conditions allow in soil that is not waterlogged or frozen. When planting, incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake and support firmly. Pears naturally shed a small quantity of the developing fruits in mid-summer. After this has occurred thin out the remaining pears, leaving one pear per cluster. Add a high-nitrogen feed in spring.
- Pollination information: This pear belongs to pollination group 3, so you will need to plant one other different variety of pear to guarantee cross pollination, and a subsequent bumper crop. Ideally this should come from the same pollination group, however it is possible to use one from group 2 as well.
