Pear Concorde

Pear Concorde Details

The Concorde pear tree is a popular variety due to its delicious fruit which have a russeted, green skin. The fruit ripen in autumn and are held amidst the fresh, green foliage which develops yellow tones in autumn before falling. This variety requires another variety planted nearby such as Doyenne du Comice to aid pollination and produce good yields. It typically grows to 4 m tall and 3.5 m wide but can be trimmed as necessary. Best yields are achieved when it is planted in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site, with good soil moisture during dry periods. It is tolerant of cool climates and frost, though a late frost in spring may reduce the yield. Pear Concorde is commonly grown for fruit production, included into a mixed planting, or grown as a specimen.
