{"product_id":"pear-pyrus-conference-comice-williams-family","title":"Pear (Pyrus) Conference\/Comice\/Williams (Family)","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis family tree brings three classic dessert pears together on a single trunk, so you can enjoy a long, varied harvest from just one tree. Each variety has been grafted onto the same tree, so they cross-pollinate one another and you don't need a separate partner. In spring the branches are covered in white blossom that bees love, and the three varieties ripen in turn from late summer into autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWilliams' Bon Chrétien\u003c\/strong\u003e is a much-loved English pear dating back to the 18th century and the first to ripen, in early September. Its fruit turns from green to golden yellow, with sweet, musky, exceptionally juicy flesh. Pick it while still firm and enjoy it soon after, as it doesn't store for long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConference\u003c\/strong\u003e is Britain's best-known pear and holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit. Its long, slender, russeted fruits are sweet and juicy, and they store well into winter. It's also one of the most reliable croppers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoyenné du Comice\u003c\/strong\u003e is widely considered the finest-flavoured pear of all, with large golden fruits and buttery, meltingly juicy flesh. It ripens later in the autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePlant in full sun in a warm, sheltered spot, in deep, fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Pears flower early, so avoid frost pockets. Prune in winter to keep an open shape and encourage fruiting spurs, and keep the three varieties in balance so no single branch becomes dominant. Thin heavy crops after the natural early summer drop, and pick the pears while still firm, then ripen them indoors for a few days for the best flavour. Fully hardy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach tree is hand-selected before dispatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAvailable from Pengelly Garden Centre.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pengelly Garden Centre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58804895646070,"sku":null,"price":92.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0380\/1766\/3020\/files\/Williams.jpg?v=1790178802","url":"https:\/\/www.pengellygardencentre.co.uk\/products\/pear-pyrus-conference-comice-williams-family","provider":"PengellyGardenCentre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
