Sample the sweet taste of homegrown pears to cap off the seasonal performance of your very own pear tree. In spring, pear trees burst into clouds of white flowers that attract pollinators, followed by fresh green foliage and, in time, crisp, juicy pear fruit hanging proudly on the tree. From classic orchard-style planting to patio-friendly forms, pear trees suit gardens of all shapes and sizes.
Modern pear varieties are tougher and more adaptable than many gardeners expect. They cope well with the UK climate, handle cold winters with ease, and once established, require very little fuss. Whether planted in the ground or trained flat against a wall or fence as an espalier pear tree, pear trees offer structure, seasonal interest and the satisfaction of harvesting your own pears straight from the garden. With careful breeding, many pear types remain compact, making them suitable even for smaller gardens and courtyards.
