Pear 'Beurre Alexandre Lucas' - Pollination Group 2 - Eating Pear - produces rounded, russet skinned dessert Pears. The white flesh is sweet and buttery with a hint of acidity that gives it a distinctive and delicious flavour. Fruits can be harvested in October when they ripen from green to a gentle shade of yellow-green.

Apple rootstock:
Pear and Quince rootstocks:

These varieties are not self-fertile but will still produce fruit when pollinated by passing insects. For the heaviest crops they are best grown with another variety of apple and pear. If you only have room for one tree then a neighbouring tree close by will often act as a suitable pollinator.

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

How to Grow

Plant fruit trees in any well drained soil in a sheltered sunny position. Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the planting hole and drive the stake into the ground to support the tree. Staking after planting may result in damage to the root ball. Plant fruit trees at their original soil level and firm them into the ground. Fasten the tree to the stake using a tree tie, and water well.

More Info

Fruit trees do not suffer weed competition well. Keep weeds and grass clear from within a 30cm radius of base of the tree. In spring, while the ground is moist, apply a mulch of well rotted manure or garden compost around the base of the tree, taking care not to mound it up against the stem. This will help to retain moisture throughout the summer. Feed and water apple trees during particularly dry periods.

Pruning fruit trees begins immediately after planting. Remove the central stem to just above the highest side branch. For the following 3 years, prune only the tips of the remaining main branches by one third in winter. Aim for about six main branches which will form the frame of your tree, with fruiting sub branches growing off of them. From the fourth year, some sub branches can be pruned out at the union where they join the main branch, to allow new sub branches to take their place.

In order to produce the best quality, largest fruits, the fruits should be thinned leaving two fruits remaining per cluster.
