PEARS
Grafted on virus-free Quince A rootstocks and Ministry Certified as
free from virus and disease. For pollination select two varieties
from the same or neighbouring group.
If you
only have room for one pear, Concorde, Conference and Invincible are
self-fertile or try a family Pear tree.
Harvesting
Pears - Pick pears when they are slightly under ripe as their
texture and flavour improve after picking. Ripe pears yield to a
slight pressure at the stem end and have an inviting aroma.
Firmer
pears are usually preferable for use in cooking. |
