Highly regarded as one of the best varieties to grow in the UK, particularly for organic growers. Pear Concorde combines excellent suitability for the UK climate, with the mellow, sweet flavour of many of the old French varieties. This makes for a reliable, heavy cropper with a fabulous flavour. The fruits are attractive, long and slender with a slight russet to the skin. Crops can be harvested in late September and stored well until November. Being self-fertile it makes a good choice for gardens where there is only space for one tree.
This variety is self-fertile and does not require a pollination partner.
Estimated time to cropping once planted: 2 years.
Estimated time to best yields: 5 years.

Plant pear trees in any well drained soil in a sheltered sunny position. Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the planting hole and drive the stake into the ground to support the tree. Staking after planting may result in damage to the root ball. Plant fruit trees at their original soil level and firm them into the ground. Fasten the tree to the stake using a tree tie, and water well. Pears will produce the best crops when planted near to another pear tree to increase pollination.
