Description
Pear 'Conference' is renowned for its long bell-shaped fruits with firm flesh. As the best-known variety of pear, 'Conference' stands out as an excellent choice for both dessert and culinary purposes. Whether enjoyed fresh with a smooth, juicy flavour or cooked to perfection, this pear variety offers versatility. The tree bears fruit late in the season, with a harvest from October to November, and the pears store well until January. To experience the optimal taste, pick 'Conference' pears slightly under-ripe, store them in a cool place, and bring them indoors to ripen gradually. While partially self-fertile, for the heaviest yields it is recommended to grow 'Conference' alongside another pear variety or ensure a neighbouring tree acts as a suitable pollinator. Plant this timeless favourite for a harvest in just two years, reaching its best yields in five years. Grown on Quince A semi vigorous root stock reaching a mature height of up to 3m.
