Give these famous Organic Doyenne du Comice Pear Trees full sunlight and they'll reward you with arguably the juciest, sweetest pears you'll find anywhere!

Widely grown across the UK and Europe, Comice pears are medium to large in size, dripping with juice when harvested in October and will store through to November. The organic Doyenne du Comice pear trees we supply are grown on both semi-dwarfing (Quince C) and moderately vigorous (Quince A) rootstocks, giving you plenty of scope with planting and eventual training and spread of the trees. This extremely popular pear tree variety falls into pollination group D (the equally well know Concorde is an excellent pollinating partner) and Doyenne du Comice is perfectly suited to training as a cordon or espalier.

Organic Doyenne du Comice Trees are despatched in bare-root form between November and March.

It'll be onward to delicious pears with Organic Onward Pear Trees, which produce delightful fruit rivalling Comice for taste, flavour and juice content.

Originating from Wisley, a real hotbed of horticultural activity, Onward pear trees fall into pollination group C which means you'll need varieties from groups B and D (but not Doyenne du Comice - its one of Onward's parents) to set a crop - and like all pears, Onward will pay you back in pears if you provide a sunny location. Onward fruit is medium sized with yellow/green skin and a mouth watering creamy, white white flesh which melts in the mouth - and as the maiden trees we supply are grown on moderately vigorous Quince A rootstocks, they'll be plenty of that delicious fruit for you to consume. And on the subject of picking pears, Onward fruit ripens in September and will store through to October under the correct conditions.

Introduce a touch of the Mediterranean to your garden or orchard with the Organic Lescovaka Quince Tree, grown on a moderately vigorous rootstock and likely to reach around 4-5 metres in height.

Lescovaka quinces are large and shaped like apples and this hardy variety will be perfectly at home in your orchard with its spreading, drooping habit. You can enjoy the attractive, large white pink flushed flowers in spring and the ripened fruit in October but as our climate isn’t warm enough to fully ripen the fruits, you’ll need to get cooking before you eat!

Plant your self-fertile Organic Lescovaka Quince Tree in a sheltered, sunny spot and avoid waterlogged soils for the best results.

Organic Beurre Hardy Dessert Pear Trees originate from France and carry the Beurre prefix (meaning butter) and although not all continental pear varieties grow well in the UK, you can expect plenty of medium to large fruits from this popular pear variety.

Supplied in a bare rooted maiden form, our Organic Beurre Hardy Dessert Pear Trees are ideal for training as espaliers or cordons and you can choose from Quince A rootstock trees (moderately vigorous growth) or the slightly smaller Quince C rootstock grown trees to suit your garden and the space you have available.

These Organic Concorde Pear Trees are a cross between renowned pear varieties Conference and Doyenne du Comice - and the result is a heavy fruiting variety with sweet, juicy, melt-in-the-mouth flesh, the perfect pear for growing in the garden.

The compact nature of Conference pear trees coupled with the semi-dwarfing Quince C rootstock our Organic Concorde Pear Trees are grown on means these pear trees are ideal for training in cordon form but as the organic trees are supplied as maidens, growing as espaliers or in bush tree form is just as easy. Expect to pick medium sized yellow pears with some slight russetting from late September onwards from your Organic Concorde Pear Trees but as with all pears, it's best to pick the fruits while still green and allow to ripen indoors. Under the correct conditions, Concorde Pears will store up to November.

Based on traditional bee hive designs, the Beepol Lodge has been hand crafted in the UK from durable FSC timber and houses the Beepol hive consisting of a UK native queen bee and 40 to 50 workers - along with eggs - all primed and ready to pollinate and therefore increase the yields of your garden and greenhouse fruit, vegetables and flowers for the summer!
