Pear
Crisp slices of pear on a cheese platter, delicious pear tarts and cakes and refreshing savoury salads are just a few of the ways pears can be enjoyed. Pear trees wonderfully ornamental too and can reach heights between 2-4m. However, there are dwarf forms available that only grow to 1.5m tall and wide, perfect for smaller gardens and pots.
