Pear Red WilliamPear Red William blooms in April and is ready to harvest from October to November. It produces masses of attractive, scarlet-coloured fruits that have a delicious, sweet flavour. Pyrus communis enjoys developing in a sunny spot, it is a self-fertile variety that is happy when paired next to another variety.This Pear tree is known to be just as sweet as the original Williams Pear, the red clone is slightly more dwarf in habit but strongly appreciated for its rosy, red skinned fruits. Pear Red William would sit well in a kitchen or a wildlife garden, it will add lots of garden interest and ornamental value to outdoor spaces.
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.
