Pear : Concorde

Pear 'Concorde'

Pyrus communis, Patio fruit tree

A manageable, compact, tree that is ideal for container growing. Pear ‘Concorde’ produces a heavy crop of pale green, large pears with firm flesh and excellent flavour, even on a young tree. The fruits are ready to harvest from September to November and will store well until January. Enjoy them at their best by picking ‘Concorde’ pears slightly under-ripe, store them in a cool place and bring them indoors to ripen slowly.


Grafted onto 'Quince A' rootstock to produce a tree with moderate vigour and promote fruiting at an early age. These strong growing trees are partially self-fertile but make the ideal planting partner for other varieties such as ‘Williams Bon Chretien’ to aid pollination and increase the yield. If you only have room for one tree then make sure that a neighbour has a tree close by that can act as suitable pollinator. Rootstock: Quince A. Height and spread: Up to 4m (13’).


Estimated time to cropping once planted: 2 years.
Estimated time to best yields: 5 years.

Apple 'Croquella'

Apple 'Croquella'

Malus domestica, Patio fruit tree
  • NEW in 2013

The naturally dwarf habit of Apple ‘Croquella’ makes this French variety perfect for growing in containers. Good crops of bright red apples with crisp white flesh can be harvested from September onwards. This compact apple tree takes on a rather oriental appearance as it ages which forms a particularly attractive patio fruit tree.


Apple ‘Croquella’ is partially self-fertile, but for the heaviest crops it is best grown with another variety to ensure good pollination. If you only have room for one tree then make sure that a neighbour has a tree close by that can act as suitable pollinator. Height and spread: 120cm (48"). Rootstock: Pajam 9.


Estimated time to cropping once planted: 2 years.
Estimated time to best yields: 5 years.
