Pair of Peral pollinator goblet-trained trees

This Umbrella-shaped pear tree pollinator duo consists of the varieties Louise Bonne d'Avranches and Conference that pollinate each other. Planted not far from each other in the garden, these two fruit trees will produce more. The pear harvest extends from September to November. Plant your pear trees preferably in autumn, in deep, fertile, and well-tilled soil.

This duo consists of:

-x1 Pear tree Louise Bonne d'Avranches: a variety of medium vigour, with good regular production. Suitable for all regions and will produce better fruits at higher altitudes. It produces medium-sized pears, beautifully coloured in brick red on a yellow background. Of good taste quality, their fine flesh is sweet and juicy. Harvest takes place in September, just before the fruits ripen, as they tend to become bletted. This pear tree is not self-fertile.

- x1 Pear tree Conference: a very hardy variety, not frost-sensitive and resistant to scab, which grows in all regions of the UK. The pears, elongated in a drop shape, reach maturity by the end of September. Their skin is light green, irregularly marbled with brown. The flesh, cream white in colour, is sweet, juicy, slightly firm, and granular near the core. Harvested two weeks before maturity, around early October, they will keep in a cool but frost-free and ventilated place until January.

Individually labelled, in a 7.5/10 Litre pot.

Although not frost-sensitive, the Pear tree will still appreciate sheltered and sunny locations, avoid frost-prone and windy situations. It likes fresh and deep soils, while dreading overly draining and calcareous soils. Give it a handful of wood ash in winter, rich in potash, to improve flowering and fruit quality.
Its upright port gives it a tall and slender silhouette, very harmonious. Its oval, finely toothed edged leaves have a petiole as long as the blade and measure about 8 to 9 cm. They turn yellow before falling in autumn.
Its late white flowering in April keeps it safe from frosts. Its flowers consist of 5 white petals, highly visited by bees.

Pears are enjoyed fresh, in syrup, in pastries, in jams and compotes, used for making spirits, ...

A pear tree grown in an umbrella shape does not have a central leader (vertical main stem) but branches radiating from its trunk. This particular shape allows good penetration of sunlight and air into the canopy, promoting fruit development and ripening while limiting disease development.
