Pear
Pear Doyenne du Comice
A large, delightful, fine-flavoured dessert pear with pale green flesh and green skin which ripens to bright yellow-green and is sometimes flushed with red. This is a vigorous, upright pear tree that’s renowned for its excellent flavour and abundant display of flowers. As it requires a warm, sheltered location to survive, it’s ideal for training as a fan or cordon on a south-facing wall. Although it’s partially self-fertile we highly recommend growing alongside a pollinator such as Concorde to guarantee a plentiful crop of fruit. A popular variety which makes a brilliant specimen tree for a small, sunny site.
