Product Description
Pear Beth is an excellent compact dessert pear, producing sweet green-yellow fruit that can be used in many traditional dishes or eaten fresh. During the spring from April, fluffy snowy-white blossoms bloom with a yellow star at their heart, amid oval-shaped deciduous leaves that create a beautiful feature within the garden. They also attract pollinators such as butterflies and birds into the area. It's a hardy and reliable tree that will produce a great harvest. Pear Beth is self-sterile and will need a pollination partner such as Concorde. It’s recommended by the RHS as a good Pear to grow in England and they even gave it an Award of Garden Merit. Supplied as two-year-old trees grafted onto Quince A rootstock. Order any two or more large fruit trees for only £13.99 each saving £3 per tree.

Growing at a glance…
Young trees must be watered thoroughly and sprinkle with fertilizer each spring. You can also mulch in April with rotted manure or compost around the base of the trunk. They should be planted in well sheltered locations. They will blossom and flower in Spring and fruit is normally ready to be picked throughout Autumn. Fruit trees are suitable for planting in most types of moderately fertile, well drained soil, although they do not like acid soil. If possible prepare the ground some time in advance of planting. Open out holes and plant with enough space to accommodate the roots without cramping them. Plant in a sunny location as they do not prosper too well in the shade. Make sure that you plant with a stake, as this will be needed for at least five years to help support the tree.
