The best pears are home grown and they are one of the most delectable of tree fruits. Popular commercial pears and touch skinned to avoid bruising during travel to the shop, but as gardeners producing our own dessert fruits, we have the real luxury of picking fully ripe, sweet, juicy, succulent fleshed fruits still warm from the sun. A real treat
Other ways of growing pears
A fence or wall can be utilised with a fan, Espalier or Cordon. See description in the Apple section. They also excel as space saving Supercolumns and as Stepover trees as a border edging
