Pyrus communis 'Beth'

An excellent pear for small gardens as it produces a small compact tree. The small-medium yellow fruits are smooth skinned with creamy white, very juicy melting flesh. A reliable and heavy cropper producing fruit from a young age. Suitable for the north.

Bred in the U.K.  RHS Award of Garden Merit  RHS Perfect for Pollinators


Pollination: Group D.


Season: Aug - Sept.


Tree Form: Cordon.


Available for delivery: early April - late August.


 

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.  Cordon pear trees are 1.2-1.5m (4-5ft) high on despatch.  Pot grown trees are available from April to late August.

 

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).
