Bought for friend, arrived on time and very happy with the tree.
I haven't seen the product as yet due to the lockdown but my friend was delighted with it so it must be lovely and she is a keen gardener.
Happy with the product and service.
Pear tree already flowering on arrival - anticipation high.
Beautiful!
Strong healthy tree with lots of flowers.
The plant was quite small and didn’t look healthy.

This strong pear trees are grown on a semi-dwarf rootstock so are perfect for a smaller space or even for a pot on a patio. They will eventually grow to around 2 to 2.5 metres tall and we expect them to have their first crop this year.
Pear trees are hardy trees and do need to be outside. They are currently in quite a small pot so are ready to either be potted up into a larger pot or planted straight out in the ground. Choose a sunny position where the fruits can ripen and protect from strong winds and deer if they are a problem in your area.
Whilst in a pot, your pear trees will need regular watering through the dry months, try not to let the soil dry out at any time. They do not need a rich soil but a top dressing of manure or seaweed will give any tree a hand to settle in to a new position. In a pot, topsoil from the garden on general purpose compost will be fine.
Pear trees are best pruned around the end of August to prepare them for fruiting the following year. Remove any side shoots that are growing upwards at the trunk (ie. Those that are at less than a 45 degree angle from the trunk) and prune back any side shoots that are branching out nicely (at a greater than 45 degree angle) to about six inches in length. Always use sharp seceteurs when pruning and make clean diagonal cuts. Flowers and eventually fruit will set on these ‘old’ branches next year.
Problem Solving: Pear trees are very tough trees that require little maintenance. Watch out for pests, including caterpillars and treat any problems early.
Pear trees are deciduous so don’t worry when they lose their leaves in the winter months.
Wilting or brown leaves - are the result of underwatering, give your plant a good soak and it will start to recover.
