    VAT is not chargeable on these plants.

Remarkably tough and hardy variety so good for exposed positions. It reliably produces heavy crops of good quality fruits every year. Can produces two sets of blossom, so if there is a heavy frost which would damage the first blossom a second blossom will still produce a good crop. Self-fertile. Fruits emerald green, yellowing a little when ripe. Crisp and juicy when first picked maturing to sweet, succulent and tender when fully ripe. Raised in France by Delbard Nursery and introduced to the UK in 2004 and renamed to Invincible..

Pollinators

Pear, Invincible (Fertilia, Fertilia Delbard Delwilmor) is in pollination group 2, it is reasonably self-fertile but will fruit better with a pollinator. Choose a pollinator in group 1, 2 or 3, click here for a list of suitable pears trees.

Pear, Invincible (delwinor) is available as:

Br = Bare Root Plant

Maiden - A maiden tree is a single stemmed tree which has not been trained so can be trained into whatever form you wish. It typically is between 1-2 metres tall and will have a few side shoots.

Bare-Root Plants

Bare-root plants are sold without a pot/soil around the roots. This is a more cost effective and environmentally friendly way of growing plants. To ensure the best plant health we do not store our plants in cold storage, but they are left in our field or plant beds until they are ready for packing or collection.

Items marked Br are bare rooted plants grown from cuttings and are typically 1-2 years old.

Availability

Bare rooted plants are only available when the plants are dormant (typically from late November to March).

If a plant is currently out of stock because it is out of season (for example, bare rooted plants in summer) or we have sold out but we are expecting more to be available you can pre-order the plant. We only charge credit/debit cards when an order is despatched, not when an order is placed.

Rootstocks

Rootstocks are used to restrict the vigour of fruit trees and allow a range to grow in a small space. They can also contribute to the disease resisting abilities of the plant.[from RHS - Update]

Quince A - A semi-vigorous rootstock that is suitable for growing fan, cordon, bush, central leader, half-standard and espalier trees. Typically fruits after 4 years and requires staking for 5 years. Tree spacing 3-4.5m (10-15ft). Ultimate height as trained as bush: 3-4.5m (10-15ft).
