Pear Tree
Posted by marylew
I am interested in buying a pear tree.I don't know if this has been discussed before as I tried to look back but only found recipes.I have just had a phone call from my local garden centre to inform me that my white nectarine is in.I asked about pear varieties and he has six or more varieties available.He did warn me that some varieties need pollinators.I like Taylor's Gold but if anyone has an idea of a sweet pear for a home orchard I would really appreciate your advice. I don't want a big tree but if I have to have two because of the pollinator I can fit two.Does anyone know if a Worden Seckel needs a pollinator? Thanks.

I haven't as yet read Lorna's post but I would stay away from thick skinned pears such as Winter Nellis. I ended up taking our prolific fruiter out as the skin was just so thick and leathery that the kids refused to eat them. I am not into bottling so they essentially were there for the birds.
