Growing and Training

Beurre Superfin is generally reliable and easy to grow - but it needs a warm sheltered climate. If you are in the south-east of the UK you should be successful. In other areas it would be worth considering Beth, which is closely related, but better-suited to the UK climate.

Recommended pollinators for Beurre Superfin pear trees

Beurre Superfin is partially self-fertile, so you do not need another variety to pollinate it to produce fruit.
