Description

The 'Red Williams' pear tree presents an enticing addition to orchards and ornamental gardens, combining delectable fruit with aesthetic appeal through spring flowers and autumn foliage. Key features include medium-large red-skinned pears akin to the popular 'Williams Bon Chretien,' offering a sweet and juicy taste best enjoyed fresh. The tree showcases attractive white spring flowers and transitions to vibrant purple and red hues in autumn foliage, adding ornamental value. Hardy and resistant to diseases and pests, the 'Red Williams' pear tree is partially self-fertile but benefits from a pollinator for heavier crops. With the potential to reach heights and spreads of up to 300cm (118.1 inches), it requires diligent care for optimal growth.For successful planting and care:Plant the tree when dormant in late autumn or spring, ensuring holes are wide and deep enough to accommodate roots.Upon arrival, trees may appear dormant but will establish with the arrival of spring.Set trees at the same level as in the nursery field, lay out roots, tamp down soil to eliminate air pockets, and water well to settle the soil.Apply mulch to protect roots from cold temperatures, and if immediate planting is not possible, 'heel in' the trees to protect roots until planting.Stake taller trees for support and to prevent root disturbance.Regular watering, pruning, and pest/disease care are crucial for the tree's health and productivity.Additionally, having a suitable pollinator nearby enhances fruit production for a more abundant harvest of these delicious red-skinned pears. Following these care instructions ensures the 'Red Williams' pear tree thrives and establishes itself successfully in its new environment.
