Family Pear Tree | Comice, Concorde & Conference Pear

This family pear tree has 3 different varieties of pear grafted onto 1 tree. The 3 main branches each produce a separate pear variety and it benefits from being self fertile.

Family fruit trees makes a wonderful choice when there is room for just 1 tree and are perfect for those that don't want a large crop of the same variety. We also think they makes a lovely unique gift.

The varieties of pear on this multiple variety tree are Doyenne du Comice, Concorde and Conference. All 3 are popular for their delicious tastes.

Doyenne du Comice pears have an outstanding juicy texture and a sweet taste. Concorde pears have green and brown russet skin with mildly sweet, juicy melting flesh. Conference pears are long in shape, have juicy, firm flesh and a sweet, rosewater flavour.

Supplied Size: Height measured from the top of the pot.

Single Stem tree: Classic tree with one trunk, pruned for a beautiful, natural shape.

Top grafted tree: A height next to this form refers to the length of clear stem, which will not grow taller. Only the head of branches will develop. Ideal for small spaces.
