A larger-fruited version of the popular Conference variety with all the same excellent eating qualities but the pears can be up to 40% larger. The skin isa russeted yellow-green and the fruit sweet and juicy. ‘Conference Moors’ is an easy to grow, self-fertile variety for both pear-aficionados and beginners looking to ‘go large’. Ripens from mid September.

Care guide

When planting your pear tree, prepare a hole up to three times the diameter of its root system. Fork over the base of the pit in readiness, in corporating plenty of organic matter into the backfill and planting hole. Avoiding frozen and waterlogged soil, trees should be planted out as they arrive. If you've ordered a bare root tree, soak the roots in a bucket of water for half an hour prior to planting, or if this is not possible, they can be heeled intemporarily, covering their roots with soil, or potted up. In exposed positions, stake firmly and keep the base weed-free. Apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring to support growth and fruiting and provide regular watering during hot, dry spells. The main winter prune, avoiding frosty conditions, involves removing dead, dying, and diseased wood to create an open crown. Additionally, reduce leaders and laterals by a third to establish an airy structure without crisscrossing branches. In August, summer prune by shortening side shoots longer than 20cm (8”) back to three leaves, promoting fruit ripening and encouraging more fruit buds. Always ensure that the growth you trim feels firm to the touch. Pears naturally shed a small quantity of the developing fruits in mid summer. After this has occurred, thin out the remaining pears, leaving one pear per cluster.
