Low stem 40-50 cm high - 5 litre pot. The Louisa pear tree is a charming tree that is loved for its aromatic and juicy pears. This tree grows to a medium height and bears fruits that turn light green to yellow when ripe. The Louisa pear has a fine, sweet flavour and a soft texture, perfect for fresh consumption and desserts. For optimum growth the tree requires well-drained, fertile soil and a sunny position. Pruning in winter and annual fertilisation will help the tree to remain healthy and productive. Louisa is self-pollinating, but can benefit from cross-pollination with other pear varieties for better fruit set.

A patio tree is a compact tree that has been specially selected or bred to be suitable for smaller gardens, terraces or patios. These trees are generally smaller in height and width than traditional trees, making them suitable for limited spaces. On average they grow to a height of +/- 150 cm (depending on pruning). They have a rootstock that encourages slow, compact growth. They are also often grown in pots or pruned in a special way to restrict their growth and control their size.

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