A  long-lived tree which bears large, flavourful edible fruit (mulberries!) in late summer. Although very tasty, these fruit are soft, rather like raspberries in appearance, and do not travel well.They need to be picked as soon as they are ripe - otherwise, they fall from the tree. Although they can grow to up to 50 feet in height, they are slow growing - they will not produce fruit until around ten years old. They are self-fertile - in other words, they don't need a partner to produce fruit. With their gnarled bark, large leaves and over-sized buds, they are a most attractive tree for the larger garden. Fully hardy, but plant in a sheltered spot with well-drained but moist, fertile soil. Prune only if necessary and during the dormant season. November - March only. 3L container.

This is an old French variety of dessert pear known for its sweet and tender fruit, which some people say has the flavour of rosewater. Another added benefit of growing this tree is the lovely white blossoms in spring and the brilliant red autumn foliage. This tree is quite susceptible to late frosts and should therefore be planted in a sunny sheltered space such as near or against a south facing wall. Fruits are ready for picking in October and any pruning should take place between November and February. As this plant is "self-sterile", meaning it will nead another pear nearby in order to produce fruit, it should be bought with Pear 'Williams'. 10L container.
