Grow your own delicious homegrown pears with the superb Beth Pear Tree, supplied here as a premium large specimen approximately 5–6ft tall in a 7.5 litre pot by Direct Plants. Carefully grown and selected at our award-winning family nursery in Norfolk, this exceptional fruit tree is highly regarded for its early ripening, reliable cropping, and beautifully sweet, juicy dessert pears.
Beth is one of the UK's finest early-season pear varieties, producing attractive medium-sized pears with smooth green skin that develops a delicate golden-yellow colour as the fruit ripens. The flesh is wonderfully sweet, soft, and juicy with excellent flavour, making it perfect for eating fresh straight from the tree.
One of Beth's greatest advantages is its dependable cropping and excellent resistance to frost during flowering, making it a superb choice for UK gardens. It is an ideal variety for gardeners wanting to enjoy delicious homegrown pears earlier than many traditional pear varieties.
During spring, the tree becomes covered with masses of beautiful pure white blossom, attracting bees and other beneficial pollinators. By late summer, generous crops of delicious dessert pears are ready to harvest.
Supplied as a strong, healthy, well-established specimen in a large 7.5 litre pot, this premium fruit tree provides instant impact and excellent establishment potential.
