The highlights

  • Strawberry notes and a crisp bite
  • Attractive russet appearance
  • Slice and eat fresh or use in salads
  • Harvest from September (stores very well)

Description

  • Also known as Asian pear
  • An unusually round, russet apple-looking pear
  • Similar taste and characteristics to other pears
  • Delicious sweet white flesh
  • Keeps remarkably well
  • Relative newcomer to the UK, but fast growing in popularity
  • Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots™. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post.MORE
  • Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch.
  • Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming "leggy", and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
