A tree that has been grown in the field and then lifted out of the ground when dormant. Available from November to March. The roots are more open and the direct contact with the soil encourages them to settle in and establish more readily.
These are 2yr old trees that have been grown 1yr in the field and the second in a pot. Container trees can be planted at any time of the year but establish best when planted during the autumn and need to be watered well during the first summer.
Family Pear trees have two to three different varieties grafted onto one stem. These varieties are selected so they cross-pollinate well and offer a delicious choice of fruit. Perfect if you only have room for one fruit tree in your garden!
Our Family Pear trees are grown on Quince A semi-vigorous rootstock and are supplied as container grown trees.
Pruning can take place any time of the year. Structural pruning should be done in the winter, and light pruning and shaping in the summer to encourage more flower and fruit for the following year.
