A very popular pear tree, grown widely in the UK,  which produces beautiful white blossoms in the spring time and a heavy crop of sweet eating pears in the summer time. Growing your own fruit is not only environmentally friendly, but therapeutic and fun too! The Dwarf/Patio variety will only grow to around 5-6ft so they're perfect for balconies and patios, taking 10-15 years to achieve their maximum height.
