Kirchensaller is a vigorous clonal seedling rootstock of Pyrus communis, compatible with all European pears and Perry pears, and is the best choice if you want to plant a traditional pear orchard. Kirchensaller produces a standard pear tree with a mature height of 6m or more, and no staking is required.
Trees grafted on Kirchensaller should be planted 5m - 7m apart.
Pear trees on Kirchensaller have the potential to be very long-lived, i.e. over 100 years in the right conditions. If you want to "plant pears for your heirs" this is the rootstock you need!
Rootstocks are usually 8-10mm grade, the best size for grafting. Please order by January for delivery in February - March. If you wish to order a large number of rootstocks please contact us.
