Cordon Pear trees are a good choice for restricted areas and a fence or wall. They can be grown at a 45degree angle, or upright. The rootstock we use for our cordon is Quince C which is the best stock for cordon trees. Plant 60-80cm’s apart.
This is a second early in season, this popular choice makes an attractive, upright, well foliated tree with fruits nicely coloured.
