For a tasty pear, Taylor’s Gold is hard to beat. It was discovered in New Zealand in the 1980’s and is thought to be a sport of the Comice variety, although some believe it is a cross between Comice and Bosc.
As most pears need cross pollination, the planting of more than one variety is recommended. Pollinators include - Beurre Bosc, Packham's Triumph, Williams bon Cretien, Winter Cole, Winter Nelis, Nashi Hosui and Nashi Nijiseiki.
