Kirchensaller is a vigorous seedling pear rootstock intended for traditional standards and large free-standing trees. Hardy, strongly anchored and broadly compatible with pear cultivars, it performs on sites where quince rootstocks may struggle. Mature trees commonly exceed six metres. Cropping begins later than on clonal or quince rootstocks, and natural seedling variation means that final vigour is not perfectly uniform.
