Pair of pollinator pear trees on half-standard

This Half-Standard Pear Pollinator Duo consists of the varieties William's and Beurré Hardy that pollinate each other. Planted not far from each other, these two fruit trees will produce more. The pear harvest extends from August to October. Plant your pear trees preferably in autumn, in deep, fertile, and well-loosened soil.

This duo includes:

-x1 Pear Tree William's: a very adaptable and easy-to-grow variety, renowned for the excellent taste quality of its large pears and their ability to be stored. Its fruits, yellow when ripe, sometimes speckled with russet, offer a fine, juicy, melting, sweet, and delightfully fragrant flesh, remarkably aromatic. Quite large, with a diameter of about 7 cm, round and stocky, they can be picked as early as August and keep perfectly until November either in a ventilated cellar or in the refrigerator. A self-fertile variety, a very good pollinator for other pear trees.

- x1 Pear Tree Beurré Hardy: a very hardy variety, suitable for all climates up to 800 m altitude if exposed to the sun. While it may take a while to bear fruit, it is then very productive. The tree produces rounded fruits with smooth, bronze-green skin. Their flesh is fine and juicy, white, very sweet, with a powerful and tasty aroma that has made its reputation. Harvest takes place in September and October. A self-sterile variety, it will be pollinated by William's.

Individually labelled, in 12/15 Litre pots.

Although not frost-hardy, the Pear Tree will still appreciate sheltered and sunny locations; avoid frosty and windy situations. It likes fresh and deep soils, while it dislikes overly draining and calcareous soils. In winter, give it a shovelful of wood ash, rich in potash, to improve flowering and fruit quality.
Its upright habit gives it a tall and slender, very harmonious silhouette. Its oval leaves, finely toothed on the edge, 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 and are very popular with bees.
