Precoce Morettini Pear Half Standard Trees - Pyrus Communis Precoce Morettini

A named Italian dessert pear

Precoce Morettini adds a distinct variety to a fruit-tree collection. Recorded by the National Fruit Collection as Butirra Precoce Morettini, it is a dessert pear with fine flesh that becomes melting as it ripens and a lightly perfumed flavour. The half-standard form gives it a clear, traditional tree outline.

Include it in your planting plan

The branching crown sits above an open lower stem, so the tree can be placed as an individual feature or alongside other fruit varieties. Consider the developing crown and access for picking when deciding on spacing. Annual care and pruning help maintain a manageable structure.

On arrival, carefully remove outer packaging and check the plants against your order. Handle plants by their pot or root ball where possible, rather than pulling on stems or branches.

Check root moisture and water if needed. Until planting, keep the plants upright in a sheltered position and prevent roots from drying out. If supplied bare-root, keep the roots covered and moist and plant promptly when conditions allow.

Larger plants and root balls can be heavy. Arrange suitable help and equipment for safe unloading and positioning.
