Pear Tree Information

The pear trees in our collection were mostly found in the mid-west counties but they are grown all around the county. Pears are not as well suited to Ireland as apples. They need shelter from cold winds, and in northern areas really should be planted close to a south facing wall as the microclimate there will be warmer and more sheltered. Pears can be planted similar to apple trees, just bearing in mind the need for more shelter.

Pear Flowering

Pear trees are comparatively rare in Ireland so it is essential to provide a suitable pollination partner, i.e. another pear tree flowering at the same time. Pear blossoms appear from late March to early April so there is a chance of frost damage and if the weather is cold, insect activity, and consequently pollination rates and yields will be low.
