The Conference is a fairly large pear with a lot of rust and is the most commonly grown variety in Belgium and the Netherlands because of its storability. The juicy flesh is light orange and sweet. The shell is hard.
The variety is an English pear variety that came on the market in 1894 and with which we have more than 65 years of experience in the Netherlands. One of the first planters of the variety in the Netherlands was the Vogelaar family in Krabbendijke. The breeder of the variety is the Englishman T. Rivers from Sawbridgeworth, Herts. It originated before 1885 from a free pollination of the Léon Leclerc de Laval variety.
Conference is tasty and carries easily and richly, even without pollinators nearby. Conference can be grown organically in private gardens. The advantage of this variety is the long marketing period, because it can be stored for a long time and the taste is preserved during storage.
The growth of the tree is quite strong. Doyenné du Comice is the preferred intermediate stock, with Kwee MC as rootstock. Flowering is early and the variety is self-pollinating and easily sets parthenocarpic fruits. As a result, fruits are still formed after night frost damage.
The harvest falls from the second week of September. Just before picking, the fruits can already fall from the tree.
