Double Grafted – Doyenne du Comice and Winter Nellis

$70.00

Doyenne du Comice: Large Classic gourmet pear. Green skin flushed red with white, melting juicy flesh of rich flavour. Tastes like sweetened cinnamon. Mid to late season. Upright and vigorous habit. High chilling hours needed to set fruit.

Winter Nellis: A very good late eating pear with excellent storage. Small green fruit with reddish russet patches and buttery, rich flavoured flesh. Very hardy but best with warm site. A good pollinator. Tree habit is sparse and spreading.

This double grafted pear tree combines the gourmet excellence of Doyenné du Comice with the hardy, late-ripening Winter Nellis, giving you two premium varieties on one space-saving tree. Perfect for home orchards wanting variety, flavour, and a longer harvest window, these two cultivars also serve as cross-pollinators, improving fruit set and productivity.

  • Doyenné du Comice: A renowned gourmet pear with green-red flushed skin and white, melting flesh described as tasting like sweetened cinnamon. Best suited for cooler climates with high chilling hours. Upright and vigorous growth habit. Harvests mid to late season.
  • Winter Nellis: A hardy, late-season pear with excellent storage qualities. Produces small green fruit with reddish russet patches and buttery, richly flavoured flesh. A great pollinator and performs best in a warm, sunny site. Sparse, spreading growth.
