Product Description
Grow delicious fruit in your garden - regardless of the amount of space you have to fill. This compact and self-fertile 'Garden Pearl' pear tree should be at the top of the list for your next patio container tree.
Everything about the 'Garden Pearl' tree is miniature - except for the yearly yield of fruit! Slow growing in nature, able to look top notch on the patio without taking over too much space. In fact, across 10 years or so, this tree will barely reach 1.2m tall!
Juicy, dark green pears start to appear in late summer on this self-fertile tree, which does not need a second nearby variety to pollinate it. A real breeze to grow, the tasty fruits are only part of the charm of this tree, as lovely pure white blossom emerges in April.
Supplied as a well-branched, dwarf bare root tree at around 50cm tall.

Top Tips
Care Guide
- Apply a slow-release fertiliser, such as Blood, Fish and Bone in early spring, and mulch to retain moisture.
- Water regularly and don't let the soil dry out if planted in pots.
- Established trees don't require radical pruning; just take off any diseased, dying, or damaged branches. Look at the overall shape and aim for an open structure of branches, and remove any that cross over so they don't damage each other.
- Hang wasp traps in trees and harvest crops as soon as they ripen. Avoid leaving windfalls or overripe fruit on the ground.
- Don't forget the tree guards as rabbits can strip the bark overnight.
