$57.99

Pyrus communis ‘Beurre Bosc’ (European Pear)

Superb, quality eating pear with, large, brown, long-necked fruit. Flesh is sweet, juicy and buttery in texture with the taste developing after 3-4 weeks in the refrigerator. Has high chilling requirements to set fruit. Regular and heavy, mid-season cropper. Harvest April.

Cross-pollinates with Pears ‘Doyenne du Comice,’ ‘Taylor’s Gold,’ ‘Winter Nelis,’ and Nashis. Pear trees are excellent for espalier training. Tree is a vigorous grower with an upright and spreading habit. Grows approximately 6m high x 4m wide in 10 years.

Requires a full sun position for best fruit development. Pears are deep rooted and will grow in most soil types. Tolerant of wet soils in the summer, though not in winter. Pears grow well in cooler areas with mild summers but ‘Winter Nelis’ is a variety that performs well in warmer areas. Shelter from wind and protect new growth from spring frosts.
