Pear Packhams Triumph

Pear Packhams Triumph Details

The Packhams Triumph pear is grown for its impressive and tasty, large sized fruit which ripen in late summer. The fruit have a green-yellow skin and a finely textured, white flesh. These are held amidst the fresh, green foliage which develops yellow tones in autumn before falling. This variety requires another variety planted nearby such as Williams bon Chretien to aid pollination and achieve 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. The pear Packham’s Triumph is commonly grown for fruit production, included into a mixed planting, or grown as a specimen.
