Columnar tree 80cm high - 5 litre pot. The Condo pear tree is a compact, fruity columnar tree that is ideal for smaller gardens and even container culture. This tree produces medium-sized, juicy pears with a rich, sweet flavour. Condo pears are usually ripe in September and have a smooth, green skin that turns golden when ripe. The tree does best in well-drained, fertile soil and needs a sunny location to ensure optimum fruiting. Regular pruning will promote healthy growth and a better yield. Condo is partially self-pollinating, but cross-pollination with other pear trees can improve fruit set. Ideal for those with limited space but still want to enjoy fresh fruit.

Suitable for growing in pots, pot size: 40 litres

A columnar fruit tree is a special type of fruit tree that is bred to have a compact, vertical growth habit, similar to a column. This makes them particularly suitable for smaller gardens, patios or even balconies where space is limited. Instead of growing into a wide tree, a columnar fruit tree grows in a tight, upright form, allowing you to grow more fruit in a smaller area.

The benefits of columnar fruit trees include:

Space saving: Their vertical growth means they take up less horizontal space, making them ideal for confined gardens.

Easy Maintenance: Their compact size makes pruning, harvesting and caring easier.

Decorative: They can also be an aesthetically pleasing addition to your garden or patio. They are often specially bred to maintain an upright shape and are often self-pollinating, making them practical for small gardens.
