Description
xConference Pear is a vigorous, upright deciduous tree with a naturally pyramidal form. It reaches 4–6 metres at maturity, making it ideal for gardens with moderate space. The tree produces abundant clusters of white blossom in spring, followed by elongated, russetted fruits with sweet, juicy flesh—excellent for eating fresh or cooking.
This variety thrives in well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. It prefers temperate climates and is hardy across Ireland. Conference is partially self-fertile but crops more reliably with a compatible pollinator nearby, such as Williams or Cornice. The tree is relatively disease-resistant and requires minimal pruning once established.
Suitable for orchards, larger gardens, and sheltered positions. Harvest fruit from late September through October. A classic heritage variety prized for flavour and reliable cropping.
