Conference Pear Tree - Planting Instructions

Planting Time

  • Trees should be planted as soon as they arrive
  • Bare root stock is available from October to March
  • Avoid freezing conditions, where the ground is frozen

Positioning Trees

  • Position in full sun
  • Avoid frosty locations, protect from early Spring frost
  • A south or west aspect is best
  • Add well rotted manure to planting hole
  • When planting - spread out roots, ensure the top of the root collar is just at or below ground level
  • Compact soil in around the rootball

Orchard Planting

  • Choose a sunny & sheltered location
  • South or west facing slope or site is best
  • Plan your orchard along a north - south axis
  • Rootstock will determine spacing (Quince A rootstock = 3m apart)
  • Stake trees prior to planting

After Care

  • Soak roots for 10 minutes before planting
  • Water again after planting
  • If dry weather persists, water every 2 days
  • Feed in early Spring
  • Weeding is also essential - especially bind weed which can quickly smoother a young tree
  • After 2 years, check the tree stakes to ensure they are not too tight around the tree

My order arrived promptly as usual and the pear tree looks really strong and healthy.
Great company to buy from. I got next day delivery and my pear tree looks really healthy and a good size. Will definitely be ordering again from the garden shop.
Arrived well wrapped & in good condition. Usual prompt & efficient service. Highly recommend.
