Bare Root ~ Pear Conference

The Pyrus communis ‘Conference’ is a delicious pear and one of the best for slightly shady or colder areas. With beautiful white blossoms in spring, loved by bees and fruit in late summer and autumn, loved by birds and small creatures. The Conference pear is a self-fertile, long-lived tree giving much pleasure and is a reliable dessert pear.

Bare root trees are dispatched from November. If your order contains other plants or trees available now, please get in touch if you would like the other trees sooner.

The tree needs a rich-well drained moist soil, preferably light and loamy. If planted in more northern areas the Conference pear tree will need a warm protected position. The more sun the happier the tree will be, yielding more fruit. Pear trees in general are amenable to pruning, hard pruning in winter, light summer pruning or not at all. If possible, dig in plenty of manure and compost before planting. In spring, weed, mulch and spray with a seaweed solution once a month. When the Conference pear tree is smaller try and protects the blossom from frost.
