Cordon Pear 'Beurre Hardy'

Cordon Pear 'Beurre Hardy' Code: PEC007

Raised in 1820, this is one of the finest flavoured dessert pears and an excellent choice for the garden. The medium-large fruits are soft and juicy and almost completely covered in bronze russet. Sweet and aromatic with a hint of rosewater. Heavy cropping. Resistant to scab. The blossom is frost resistant but the tree requires a warm location.

RHS Award of Garden Merit  RHS Perfect for Pollinators


Pollination: Group D.


Season: Oct.


Tree Form: Cordon.


Available for delivery: late November/December - early May.


 

Pear trees, like apple trees, are easy to grow and suffer with very few problems. Cordons should be restricted to 1.8-2.4m (6-8ft) in height and can be spaced 60cm (2ft) apart. Choose a sunny, sheltered site. To ensure rapid establishment, cordon pear trees are supplied bare-rooted and will be approximately 1-1.2m (3-4ft) tall on despatch (including the roots). Trees are available from late November to late April.

 

Don't forget to include tree stakes and ties on your order. All young fruit trees require staking and for better establishment we strongly advise using Rootgrow when planting (as recommended in RHS planting guidelines).
