Conference

The most popular commercial variety in UK, but uncommon in Australia. Long thin green fruits with some russet, delicate melting flesh when allowed to ripen properly. The key is to pick them when they are still firm and then ripen them on a window sill for 3-4 weeks. Ripen mid season, late March. Keeps well if put into a cool place. Is partially self fertile, but will crop better if near another variety of our pears.

  • Ripening Time: March - April
  • Fertility: Partially Self-Fertile, produces viable pollen
  • Growth Habit: Can be espaliered and kept to 1.5 - 2.5m. Free standing tree grows to around 2 -2.5m tall.
  • Rootstock: Dwarfing rootstock
  • Chill Tolerance: Normal chill
  • Pollination is far simpler than most people think. Generally, unless self fertile simply get 2 or more different varieties in the same group (eg pears) to ensure adequate pollination. A more comprehensive explanation can be found in our Pollination Guide
