Pear Tree - Catillac

Pear Tree - Catillac

Catillac is arguably the best culinary pear, which supposedly owes its name to Cadillac in the Gironde. It was described in France in the 1650s. Its fruit is best cooked or poached and stores well. It has a vigorous healthy habit and large round green fruit. Catillac is triploid - i.e. it needs two other varieties of pollinating trees nearby. See our section on Pollination Groups to help you select suitable pollinators.

Supplier : R.V. Roger Ltd.

All our pear trees, including Catillac, are bare root, so they are only available between November and April. During lifting season, there will be a delay between placing the order and dispatching due to pressure of orders, which are dealt with in date sequence, and the weather. Orders taken from June-October will be confirmed in late October/ early November after a nursery stock take, for dispatch from November. Please consult our planting and care guide on receipt of your order.

Your purchase helps us support a range of charities, which are related to the products we sell.
