Pyrus communis Bosc

Bosc Pear Tree

A pear tree known for its high quality pears. The fruits are long, with a brown and rough skin. Their flesh is firm, sweet, slightly grainy, with a rich and fragrant taste that is perfect for fresh consumption, in dessert, in compote, or for cooking. This pear tree is self-sterile, so it is necessary to plant it with another variety of pear tree to ensure cross-pollination and guarantee an abundant harvest. It begins to produce fruit about 4 to 6 years after planting. It requires regular watering, especially during dry periods, but it is important not to exceed to avoid root rot. Pruning is done in late winter or early spring, before the vegetation restarts. It is recommended to remove dead or damaged branches and to aerate the center of the tree to promote healthy growth and good fruiting.
