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 is a 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.
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. Add a high-nitrogen feed in spring.
In August summer prune. Shorten any side shoots (or laterals) which are longer than 20cm back to three leaves. This will allow the sun to ripen the fruit and encourage more fruit buds. Make sure that the growth you’re cutting away feels firm to the touch.
The main prune should be done in the winter as long as it isn’t frosty or freezing. Take out the 3D’s (dead, dying and diseased wood) and create an open shape. Then reduce the leaders back by a third. Aim to create an airy structure without any crisscrossing branches.
