Pear 'Onward' (Early Season)
Often described as 'the early Comice'. Good, sweet flavour and creamy white, fine, melting, juicy flesh. Medium-large sized fruit. A good, reliable cropper. Crops early. Will not pollinate Comice or vice versa.
Pear trees are grafted on a Quince 'A' rootstock and will reach an eventual height of 2.5-3.5m (8-12ft). Trees should be planted 3-4.5m (10-15ft) apart.
Pear trees are available for delivery from late November until late March.
Please remember that fruit trees do require staking for the first few years of their life, we also strongly recommend the use of rootgrow™ when planting to encourage strong root growth and aid establishment.
