Comtesse de Paris is a pear to plant for fruit in the heart of winter rather than for the most spectacular flavour in the orchard. Picked firm in October, it stores into February and becomes mild, juicy and pleasant. The tree is hardy and relatively disease tolerant. Its early blossom nevertheless requires a compatible cultivar flowering at the same time.

Flowering is early. It pollinates well with St Jean d’Hardelot and Sucrée de Montluçon.
Comtesse de Paris was obtained around 1893 by Mr Foureine in Eure-et-Loir, France. The variety spread quickly across France and is now a classic pear variety.
We produce this grafted pear tree on several rootstocks, which influence the vigour and final size of the mature tree. It is available in several tree forms depending on availability.
