This Mini Orchard Cordon pear collection consists of 3 different varieties to crop throughout the season, 1 each of the following:
Cordon Pear 'Beurre Hardy'
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. Season: Oct.

Cordon Pear 'Doyenné du Comice'
Raised in 1849, this is one of the finest flavoured and most popular dessert pears. Produces large green-yellow fruits, sometimes with a red flush. The flesh is smooth and very juicy with a sweet, delicious flavour. The tree requires a warm location in order to crop well. Season: Oct - Nov.

Cordon Pear 'Williams' Bon Chrétien' (syn 'Bartlett')
Raised in 1770, this is probably the best known and most widely grown pear in the world, suitable for dessert and culinary use. The medium sized fruits have a pale green/golden skin finish. The flesh is sweet, very smooth and extremely juicy. A reliable and heavy cropper, suitable for colder areas. Season: Sept.
