Perry Pear Varieties

The Centre regrets it is unable to identify pears by photograph or description.

Below are photos  of all perry pear varieties that have been traced to date, and planted in the National Perry Pear Centre orchards. Click on the variety for more photographs and  a word or two about it.

Some varieties at present only give you a link to Charles Martell’s book — these pages are being updated at the moment, so more content should shortly be visible. The book, a highly detailed research volume is available –  see the publications page.

Scions (graftwood) of most of these varieties can be supplied.
