Commonly Asked Questions
Do you need two pear trees?
Yes, to ensure consistent fruit production, it's best to plant two pear varieties with compatible pollen or ensure there is a compatible pear tree nearby. Having at least two pear trees can significantly increase your chances of a bountiful harvest.
Where should I plant a pear tree in my garden?
Pears thrive in sunny, sheltered spots with fertile, well-drained soil. Avoid frost pockets as cold weather can significantly reduce cropping. Ideally, a warm position against a south-facing wall or fence will give your pear trees the best chance to flourish.
Can I keep a pear tree small?
Yes, pear trees can be kept small through size management. By pruning regularly according to your desired height, whether semi-dwarf or standard size, you can maintain the tree’s height. For a smaller tree, prune more extensively.
What is the best pear tree to grow in the UK?
The best all-rounder is the Conference pear tree. Not only is it the UK's favourite, but it’s also the easiest to grow. Its delightful flavour can be enjoyed even when not fully ripe, and it performs well in various environments, producing good crops within just two years.
Do pear trees bear fruit in the first year?
Typically, pear trees need a few years before they begin bearing fruit properly. Most pear trees start producing fruit between 3 and 7 years of age, depending on the variety and size. Saplings purchased from nurseries like Acqua Garden are generally 1 to 2 years old at the time of purchase.
