Low stem 80cm high - 5 litre pot. The Doyenné du Comice pear tree is a prized tree for its delicious, juicy fruit. This tree produces large, light green pears with a creamy, sweet flavour and soft texture, perfect for fresh eating and desserts. The tree grows well in well-drained, fertile soil and requires a sunny location to perform best. Regular pruning, especially in winter, is important to encourage healthy growth and a bountiful harvest. Doyenné du Comice benefits from cross-pollination with other pear trees to improve fruit set. This tree is an excellent choice for a fruitful garden or orchard.

Low stem means that the tree is grafted onto a slow growing rootstock, which means that the trees bear fruit faster and grow less tall. The advantages of this are that they are suitable for smaller (vegetable) gardens, so that you can grow more varieties in the same space. It is also handy that you can harvest easily, safely and without a long ladder.

In the fall, the soil is still warm and moist, which means the trees will take root well in the soil. Plants that are planted in the fall have a better developed root system than plants that are planted in the spring. They will also grow better and can better withstand periods of drought. Because the trees are delivered in pots, they can be planted all year round.
