The flowering times of all varieties in the collection have been recorded over a number of years. The analysis of this enables the Centre to provide planting recommendations to assist good cross-pollination.
Flowering groups
Pears are not self-fertile, so will need at least one other variety flowering at the same time, to ensure cross-pollination.
