Two reliable pear pollinators, Beurré Hardy and Conference.

This duo of reliable pollinating pear trees in a goblet shape consists of the varieties 'Beurré Hardy' and 'Conference', which pollinate each other. When planted close to each other in the garden, these two fruit trees will produce more. The pear harvest extends from September to November. Plant your bare-root pear trees preferably in autumn, as soon as they arrive, in deep, fertile, and well-tilled soil.

This duo consists of:

- x1 'Beurré Hardy' Pear Tree: a very hardy variety, suitable for all climates up to 800m (2625ft) altitude if exposed to sunlight. While it may take some time to bear fruit, it is very productive afterwards. The tree produces rounded fruits with smooth, bronze-green skin. Their flesh is fine, juicy, white, very sweet, and has a powerful and delicious fragrance that has made its reputation. Harvest takes place in September and October. This variety is self-sterile and will be pollinated by 'Conference'.

- x1 'Conference' Pear Tree: a very hardy variety, not prone to frost and less susceptible to scab, which grows in all regions of France. The pears, elongated in the shape of a drop of water, ripen from late September. Their skin is light green, irregularly marbled with brown. The flesh, cream-colored, is sweet, juicy, slightly firm, and slightly granular near the core. Harvested two weeks before ripeness, i.e. early October, they can be stored in a cool but frost-free and ventilated place until January.

Individually labeled

Although hardy, the Pear Tree still appreciates sheltered and sunny locations, avoiding frost-prone and windy situations. It likes cool and deep soils, but dislikes excessively draining and calcareous soils. In winter, add a shovelful of wood ash, rich in potash, to improve flowering and fruit quality.
Its upright habit gives it a tall and slender silhouette that is very harmonious. Its leaves, with an ovate lamina and finely toothed edges, have a petiole as long as the lamina and measure approximately 8 to 9 cm (3 to 4in). They turn yellow before falling in autumn.

Its late white flowering in April protects it from frost. Its flowers have 5 white petals and are very popular with bees.

Pears can be eaten fresh, in syrup, in pastries, in jams and compotes, and can be used to make alcoholic beverages.

A goblet-shaped fruit tree does not have a central leader (vertical main stem), but branches radiating from its trunk. This particular shape allows for good penetration of sunlight and air into the branches, which promotes fruit development and ripening while limiting the development of diseases.
