The pear needs a warmer and more sheltered site than the apple, but it repays the effort with fruit of a quality you cannot buy in a shop. Here the rootstock decides not only vigour but also how demanding the tree will be about soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pear varieties available at the nursery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We grow varieties proven in the conditions of south-eastern Poland. The table below makes it easier to choose by ripening time and intended use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We run our own scion orchard and rootstock stool beds<\/a> \u2014 this is where the scions and rootstocks for our trees come from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What we supply<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We grow one-year-old trees with a feathered crown<\/strong> \u2014 maidens that have already put out side shoots in their first season. The crown is therefore started: there is no need to build it from scratch, and the tree comes into bearing earlier than an unfeathered whip. For commercial plantings this makes training to a chosen system easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We supply material bare-root \u2014 this is the standard in nursery production and the best way to get a tree to establish well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to plant a pear tree<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The pear takes well to autumn planting \u2014 ideally from mid-October to mid-November. The condition is a site sheltered from wind; in open, cold locations consider spring planting instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The details \u2014 preparing the site and the planting hole, planting depth, winter protection and the most common mistakes \u2014 are covered in our guide to planting fruit trees in autumn<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growing, pruning, feeding and protection through the whole season are covered separately in our guide to growing and caring for pear trees<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Frequently asked questions about pear tree seedlings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Do pear trees need a pollinator?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Faworytka and Lukas\u00f3wka need a pollinator. Konferencja is partly self-fertile, but crops noticeably better in the company of another variety. These three varieties pollinate each other well \u2014 they flower at a similar time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In which year will a pear tree start to fruit?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      On quince S1 the first fruit is usually picked in the 2nd\u20133rd year, on a Caucasian pear seedling only in the 5th\u20137th year after planting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      What soil suits pear trees best?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      The pear needs fertile, free-draining and warm soil with a slightly acid to neutral reaction. On quince S1 it is more demanding and sensitive to lime in the soil \u2014 on such sites a Caucasian pear seedling is the safer choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      How many pear trees per hectare?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      At 3.5 \u00d7 1.5 m spacing (quince S1) that is about 1,900 trees per hectare, and at 5 \u00d7 4 m on a Caucasian pear seedling about 500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Do you ship trees by courier?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Yes, shipping is possible. We dispatch bare-root material during the lifting season \u2014 in autumn and early spring; outside that season we do not lift trees. Personal collection at the farm is also possible. Cost and delivery date are agreed by phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
