It has both the characteristic \"melting\" flesh of the highest quality pear varieties, along with a sweet richness and delicacy which others can't quite attain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough originating from France it was well-known \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDoyenne du Comice needs to be grown in a sheltered south-facing situation. Espalier or fan-training against a south-facing wall is the ideal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe other important consideration with Comice is that it needs a reliable pollination partner nearby, as the shape of its flowers makes it difficult for successful pollination to occur. Conference is a good choice as it is a naturally good pollinator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit size is relatively large by pear standards - provided you thin the fruitlets in late spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with all pears, it is important to get the time of picking right. Unlike apples, which are usually best if left to ripen on the tree, pears should be picked under-ripe and then ripened indoors (or in a fridge). In the UK Doyenne du Comice is generally ready to pick in early to mid October.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePear Type :\u003c\/strong\u003e Dessert\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour: \u003c\/strong\u003eSweet\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClimate Suitability : \u003c\/strong\u003ePrefers a south facing aspect\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFruit picking time:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eLate Season\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFruit size\/colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e  Large\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePollination group:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Group 4 Pollinate with Conference\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Screen It Green","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41084344008877,"sku":"","price":16.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0535\/7577\/8477\/products\/PearDoyenneduComice.jpg?v=1637927098","url":"https:\/\/millbraenursery.com\/products\/pear-doyenne-du-commice-2-year-old-bush-4-5ft-available-for-delivery-mid-november","provider":"Millbrae Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
