Pyrus communis - The Queen of Pears. Holder of the RHS's AGM. Medium-large, pale green fruit that turns to yellow. If you are looking for flavour, the texture and taste are truly outstanding. It does require a warm sheltered site, with other varieties as pollination partners, particularly Beth or Conference. Pick mid-October, and eat within a month or so. Eventual height is around 1.5 metres. Priced for a half standard tree
