Pear tree recommendation

debs64 · May 2018

Can anyone recommend a site to buy a pear tree online? I would rather pay a little more for a healthy well grown tree so has anybody used a good online site?

Does it have to be online? I bought some trees (self-fertile) from "yougarden" through amazon. However, I would recommend homebase if they still have bare root trees. The reason is this - I bought a cherry tree (self fertile) from homebase couple of weeks ago. Its very healthy and growing really well (check page 2 of the below link to see it). In addition to that you can look at the tree structure/shape before paying for it.

Orange Pippin Trees are well respected.
I bought 4 Pear cordons from them last year

I want something a bit unusual hence I think online will carry a greater range and I am looking for a small tree no more than 6-7 feet fully grown. Have looked at orange pippin they don't have much left in stock but will look again in autumn though can't see any small trees.

Hi
I've bought all my top fruit trees from: chrisbowers.co.uk
If your interested in a slightly unusual but very prolific pear tree on a small root stock then 'Invincible' is definitely one to try. I've had mine for 10 years and it's been very reliable. Looks like I might get another heavy crop again this year.

Will definitely look at that one thanks

Second flush of flowers- insurance in case the first flush was caught by frost. This is why it's called invincible.
