Low stem 80cm high - 5 litre pot. The Williams pear tree, also known as the Bartlett pear, is famous for its juicy, sweet fruits with a delicate fragrance. This tree grows to a medium height and produces an abundant crop of green, sometimes pinkish-red pears in September to October, turning golden yellow as they ripen. Williams pears are perfect for fresh consumption and preserving. The tree requires a well-drained, fertile soil and a sunny location for best growth. Pruning is important to maintain good shape and improve fruit production. For best results, cross-pollination with another pear tree is recommended, although Williams is partially self-pollinating.

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.
