Full details

FAQs
Can I keep this tree in the 12-litre pot forever?
No, it is a temporary container. You should move it to a 100-litre pot or plant it in the ground for long-term health.
Is the Pear Conference self-fertile?
While it can produce fruit alone, it often benefits from having another pear tree nearby for cross-pollination.
What is the best time to plant the tree?
Spring or autumn are generally the best times as the soil is moist and temperatures are moderate.
Does it need regular pruning?
Yes, light pruning in winter helps maintain the shape and encourages better airflow and fruit yield.
Will it survive cold winters?
Yes, this variety is fully hardy and designed to withstand standard outdoor temperatures.
Troubleshooting
Leaves wilting after planting
Ensure the root ball is sufficiently hydrated and not sitting in dry, air-pocketed soil.
Slow growth in container
Check if the tree has outgrown its current pot; transplant to a larger container if the roots are circling.
