Description

This is probably the best known and best all round pear for growing in the UK.

Reliable and heavy cropping (even in poorer years) it produces long, narrow, yellow-green fruits which are very juicy and sweet.

  • Season of use October - November.
  • First introduced 1885, Hertfordshire, UK. (at the National British Pear Conference - hence its name).
  • Self Fertile - but pollination by another pear will maximise yield.
  • Grown on Quince A rootstock for an ultimate (un-pruned) height of 8 - 12 feet (2.4 - 3.65 metres) but can easily be kept at a height of 6 - 8 feet (1.8 - 2.4 metres).

Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.

Recommended by the RHS to assist in encouraging bats into the garden as the flowers are likely to attract moths and other night-flying insects which bats love to eat!
