Pear, Conference - 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. Rootstock: Quince A. Dessert variety introduced by Thomas Rivers in 1894. Most widely grown pear in Britain. Can be cropped and stored before ripe and is often sold under-ripe, but when ripe it has an excellent flavour. Pick at the end of September, store until November. Self-fertile. Priced for a stepover tree
