Description This elegant 2-tier espaliered European pear tree features two classic pear varieties, selected from Bartlett, Red Bartlett, and Bosc, trained into a compact, formal structure perfect for narrow spaces, garden walls, courtyards, and smaller landscapes. Espaliered pears offer exceptional fruit quality due to improved sunlight exposure and airflow, while doubling as a striking architectural feature in the garden. Each horizontal tier carries a different variety, giving you a wider flavor range, better pollination, and staggered ripening all on one beautifully crafted tree. Grafted onto Provence quince, a true dwarfing rootstock, this espalier remains easy to maintain while producing reliable crops of high-quality fruit.
