Pear 'Beurre Bosc'
Pyrus communis
WPEBE
An 1807 Belgian heirloom, this is the quintessential fresh-eating pear that melts in your mouth like sorbet. The best flavour comes when ripened at room temperature, so supermarket offerings are not a patch on home-ripened fruit. Elegant elongated russet-brown pears with rich sweet, slightly grainy flesh to enjoy fresh, baked or poached. A late-season crop, which is pollinated by Red Beurre d'Anjou, Williams and Red Williams. Grafted on Pyrus Calleryana rootstock.

How to grow
Pears grow in a wide variety of soils, but do best in a soil enriched with decomposed compost and well-rotted manure prior to planting. Their main requirements are full sun, cool winters (600 chilling hours) and regular irrigation. Flowering a month earlier than apples, protect from frost to improve fruiting. Always plant more than one type for cross-pollination.
