I have just placed an order for a duo pear tree. There are two varieties of pear grafted onto one rootstock one Conference and one Concorde so in a few years time I can look forward to fresh pears. The duo tree will live in a large pot on the patio and I think it will be a nice addition to the garden. I love pears and we already have a Red Falstaff apple tree of our own and a very prolific apple tree that hangs over from the neighbours garden.

Oooh lovely! I love a fresh pear. The house I grew up in used to have a neighbouring conference pear tree. We'd hear them dropping like cannon balls on to the garage roof and I was allowed to go up and collect them... and of course eat them! Saved my parents a fortune in snack shop money. Lulu x
