Pear, Catillac - Stepover (45cm stem)

Trained in a 'stepover' shape, this is a very low-growing tree, on dwarfing rootstock (Quince A), that is ideal as a low, decorative and productive border for lawns, flower or vegetable beds. Height approx 45 cms.

Pyrus communis. Culinary variety. First recorded in 1665, this is the very best of the culinary pears. Very large round green fruit flushed with red. Cook slowly for a pale pink puree with a lovely flavour, or poach for a delicious soft pear. Pick in September, use from January until April. Needs a pollinator (Group D).
