Description

The Angelys Pear Tree is a tree of medium vigour, perfect for small gardens. Fairly productive, it produces large fruits, with a diameter of 7.5 to 8 cm (3in), with a bronze-yellow skin. Their flesh is fine, sweet and tangy in perfect balance. These pears are of excellent taste quality. They can be stored very well in a cellar, in a cool place, until March. Harvest takes place in October. The Angelys® Pear Tree is not self-fertile.

The pear tree is a tree native to central Asia, cultivated in China for 6,000 years. It was introduced to Europe around the 6th century. The Angelys® Pear Tree is a creation of the INRA of Angers, dating back to 1998. It is the result of a cross-breeding between Doyenné d'Hiver and Doyenné du Comice.

If it is not frost-sensitive, the Angelys Pear Tree will still appreciate protected and sunny locations, avoid frost-prone and windy situations. Easy to grow, it likes damp and deep soils, but dislikes excessively draining and calcareous soils. In winter, give it a shovelful of wood ash, rich in potash, it will improve flowering and fruit quality.
Its spreading habit gives it a tall silhouette with a trunk, then spread harmoniously. This habit facilitates harvesting and naturally improves the tree's aeration, allowing it to be less affected by diseases. Its leaves have an oval lamina, finely toothed on the edge, with a petiole as long as the lamina and measuring about 8 to 9 cm (3 to 4in).
Its late white flowering in April protects it from frost. Its flowers are formed of 5 white petals. They are not self-fertile. Therefore, it is necessary to plant another pear tree nearby. Its main pollinators are the varieties Conference, Doyenné du Comice and William's.
This variety produces pears with a diameter of 7.5 to 8 cm (3in), with a bronze-yellow skin. Their flesh is fine, sweet and tangy in perfect balance. These pears have excellent taste qualities and store very well.

Pears can be consumed fresh, in syrup, in pastries, in jams and compotes, and can be used to prepare alcoholic beverages...

Planting and care

Plant the Angelys Pear Tree in a sunny location, in acidic or neutral soil, moist but not excessively. Ensure proper drainage of the planting hole with a layer of gravel. Dig a hole two to three weeks before planting, twice as wide and deep as the pot. On the day of planting, place the tree with its pot in a basin of water, so that the entire root ball is moistened by capillary action. Add compost to the bottom of the hole. Place the tree in the hole and fill with a mixture of soil and potting soil. Do not bury the graft union. Firmly pack the soil around the base. The root ball should be completely covered. Water thoroughly.

In winter, you can add a small handful of wood ash, rich in potash, to improve fruiting.
