Pear, Concorde
Concorde pears are ideal for espalier, cordon, fan and other training. They are pliable, produce side shoots readily and give regular, heavy crops of russet/green medium sized fruit. They can be used as either juicy eaters or cookers. Concorde is best planted in moist, well-drained, fertile soil and in a sunny site. Although self-fertile they yield better with a pollinator nearby. For more information on pear pollination and for a list of good pollinators for Concorde do have a look at our

The planting hole for fruit trees should be 1m across and 40cms deep. If necessary, the soil can be improved with a little well rotted compost or manure. Stake the tree with a 50mm (2") diameter tree stake, and secure it with a buckle and strap tree tie within 50-60 cms of the ground. Weeds and grass should be kept away from the trunk by weeding, spraying or using a mulch mat. For further information, take a look at our Tree Planting Guide.
