Precoce Henin is an early-season eating pear with a rich sweet melting flesh.
The pears ripen in mid-August and should be eaten immediately.
Sorry we have not produced any trees of this variety this season.
Contact us if you would like to go on the waiting list for next season.
Let me know when Precoce Henin pear trees are back in stock.
If you do not hear from us by March you can contact us to pre-order for next autumn.
Precoce Henin is easy to grow and generally disease-resistant. It is not usually necessary to thin this variety, as it will readily drop excess fruitlets in late spring.
Precoce Henin was raised in the 1970s by Mr Henin of Liege, Belgium. Although it is therefore quite modern, its sweet flavours and melting flesh harken back to the classical era of Belgian pear development a century earlier.
