Our Feedback
I've just read your little thing about being organic or not on your website and I'd like to congratulate you on being such a breath of fresh air! I'm a keen gardener and also a geneticist and I get so frustrated with the way people who know nothing about things confuse matters by using scientific terms incorrectly. "Organic" is a prime example of this, and it's wonderful that there are still people out there who will not jump on the PC bandwagon and are willing to stand up and put something honest out there for all to see! You cannot imagine how impressed I am with you, congratulations and a big heartfelt "thank you"!

Cooking Pear Trees
The pear trees in this section of our site are varieties which are good for cooking.
All the cooking pear trees that we offer from our Kent based nursery are grown on a St Julian A rootstock, so will reach a maximum height of 12 feet, but can be kept smaller should you prefer. We prune the trees before dispatch so that they are ready just to be planted straight into your garden or allotment when they arrive anywhere within the UK.
Poached pears or a pear tart are made even more delicious if you grow the pears yourself and it really isn't that difficult, if you have the space why not give it a try, we are always here to offer advise on our plants and trees should you need it.
