Product Description

Pear Concorde produces sweet juicy aromatic dessert pears with mottled green fruit that will acquire a red flush where the sun hits it. This stunning variety has its parentage from Conference for reliability and Doyenne du Comice for flavour, making it the ideal fruit to grow. From April, fragrant white blossoms are accompanied by dark glossy green foliage that makes a beautiful addition to the garden and invites birds into the area. The fruit will then appear mid-season and as with all pears should be harvested slightly under-ripe. Concorde is recommended by the RHS as a good pear to grow in England and holds an Award of Garden Merit, so the quality is guaranteed. This tree is self-fertile, and won’t need a pollination partner. Supplied as two-year-old trees grafted onto semi-dwarf rootstock, Quince A.

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.
