Pear 'Williams' is a classic dessert pear producing aromatic, juicy yellow fruit with smooth, melting flesh. White spring blossom is followed by an early crop from late summer in Ireland. It is not reliably self-pollinating, so grow it with a compatible pear flowering at the same time. Its bush habit suits small to medium gardens.
Why we like it
- Sweet, aromatic pears for eating, cooking and preserving
- Early harvest from late summer
- Beautiful white blossom in spring
What to know
- Not reliably self-pollinating; a compatible pear is recommended
