Pears

(ALL ON QUINCE 'A' ROOTSTOCK)

 We are having difficulty with pears. Once again the success rate of the grafts is low, and already (10th August) we are limited for choice, especially considering pollination. If you have gardens nearby there will be other pears and this should not be a problem. We are also in the process of buying in stock from our wholesaler - unfortunately we are not able to obtain these as organic - watch this space.

JARGONELLE - (A)(3 Triploid) (N) (V3) Sept. Sold out
Excellent, hardy early fruit.

MOONGLOW - (A/B) (3) (N) V2) Sept. Sold out

Similar to Williams Bon Chretien, but said to have better flavour.

GORHAM - (B) (4) (N) (V2) Sept-Oct. Sold out
Long, pale yellow pear, like "Williams" but less scab prone.

CONFERENCE - (B/C) (3) (S) (V2) Oct-Nov  Crop failure
The best -known pear, can be excellent flavour but not scab-resistant, so best in drier areas. Partially self-fertile.

Raised 1780, Normandy. Pale green with red flush. Sweet and juicy flesh. Known to do very well in parts of eastern Scotland.
