Pear Tree Supplier

[monkeybusiness]

Hi - a customer wants me to source 3x decent sized (standard or ideally larger) pear trees to make a feature in their garden. Ideally three different varieties, all edible fruit. I know it's not exactly the best time of year for this... Anyone know of anywhere that might be able to supply what I'm after? Cheers boys and girls!

What area of the country are you in? I know there are a few nurseries in Kent that do pear trees. How different do you want them? and how far are you willing to travel to pick them up/pay for delivery?

In Cheshire - I'm open to quotations for trees delivered here. Ideally the trees would have a similar form as they are being planted as a group predominantly for aesthetic purposes - a variety of fruit will add a nice bit of interest but they don't need to be dramatically different to each other.

Frank Mathews in Tenbury Wells would be the first place I would ask.

Other than that, local garden centres.

Can't remember the current name of the garden centre near Oulton Park (Wyevale I think), they usually have decent sized fruit trees in stock. Not massive full grown ones of course.

Barcham trees would be my guess.

It's a bit late for bare root but you should just get away with it so I would try Keepers Nursery which has an excellent selection. If there is space for big trees I would go with pear rootstock, otherwise Quince A will give a 15' tree.

Cheers all - I'll make some calls tomorrow. Looking for something heavier than run of the mill garden centre stock ideally.
