Pears
Pears are juicy and delicious but more temperamental than apples. They flower early and so are liable to damage by spring frosts and cold winds. In more favoured areas of the country they can be grown as bush trees in the open but elsewhere it is better to grow them in restricted forms such as Minarettes, cordons and espaliers on warm south, south west, south east or west facing walls or fences. Bush pears on Quince ‘A’ grow to 2.5-3.5m (8-12ft) in height and spread and should be spaced 3-4.5m (10-15ft apart).
If you have a small garden, certain varieties are available as minarettes which are ideal as they can be planted as close as 60-90cm (2ft) apart.
Pear varieties are separated into pollination groups according to when they flower, starting with the earliest flowering varieties as group A, group B a little later and so on. Varieties within the same pollination group will usually cross pollinate one another because they flower at the same time. Varieties in adjacent pollination groups will also serve as pollinators for one another because in most seasons there is sufficient overlap of pollen resulting from an overlap in the flowering period.
Pear trees are available from late November until late March.
