Pear Half Standard Trees - Pyrus Communis

A traditional fruit-tree outline

This Pear is supplied as a half standard, with a crown carried above a clear lower stem. It gives a defined tree shape within a productive garden or mixed planting scheme, while leaving the stem visible below the branches. Pears offer spring blossom followed by developing fruit when pollination and growing conditions are suitable.

Plan your planting

A warm, sunny and sheltered position helps pears perform well. This listing identifies Pyrus communis without naming a cultivar or rootstock, so check those details with us if fruit characteristics, a pollination partner or final tree size are important to your plan. A half-standard shape describes the trained stem and crown, rather than a guarantee of a dwarf tree.

What is supplied

Your tree is pot grown with a clear stem height of 80–100cm. Stem girth depends on the option you select. Use these supplied measurements when comparing sizes, and leave room for the crown to develop after planting.

Choose a position in full sun. Keep the soil moist while allowing excess water to drain freely.

Water thoroughly after planting and check soil moisture regularly during establishment, particularly in dry or windy weather. Keep competing weeds clear and avoid piling mulch against stems.

Supplied according to the option you select for this product.

Clear Stem Height: 80-100cm (Half Standard).
Stem Girth: as selected when ordering.
Root Type: Pot Grown.

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.

Delivery arrangements and any charges are those confirmed for your order.
