Pyrus communis Beurré Superfin: an autumn jewel in your gardens

The Beurré Superfin pear tree, a very old French variety (1844) is a real treasure for fruit lovers. Its name already evokes the finesse and delicacy of its fruits. This fruit tree, ideally grafted on a low stem, will easily find its place in your gardens, whether they are small or large.

A tree with a strong character

With moderate growth, the Beurré Superfin pear tree will reach a height of around 3 to 4 meters at maturity. Its shape, erect at the top and more spread out at the base, gives it a pyramidal silhouette. Hardy and adaptable, it withstands the winters of our regions well. For optimal fruiting, it will appreciate a sunny exposure and a location sheltered from the prevailing winds.

As for the soil, it is rather demanding. A deep, fresh and well-drained soil, rich in humus, will suit it perfectly. Compact or overly calcareous soils should be avoided.

Spring flowering and generous fruiting

In April, the Beurré Superfin pear tree is adorned with delicately scented white flowers, announcing a future abundant harvest. Since pollination is generally cross-pollination, it is advisable to plant nearby other varieties of pear trees to encourage fruiting.

It is pollinated by: Louise Bonne d'Avranches, Précoce Henin, Ananas de Courtrai, Beurré Lebrun, Duchesse d'Angoulême, Beurré de Naghin, Beurré Dilly, Bronzée d'Enghien, Bon chrétien williams, Calebasse de la reine, Triomphe de Vienne, Seigneur Esperen, Légipont (Fondante de Charneux), Conférence, Beurré Chaboceau, Beurré Hardy, Durondeau, Beurré d'Hardenpont, Jeanne d'Arc, Joséphine de Malines et Beurré Superfin (partially self-fertile).

It pollinates the following varieties : Précoce Henin, Madame Grégoire, Ananas de Courtrai, Double Philippe (Doyenné Bousshoch), Beurré Lebrun, Duchesse d'Angoulême, Beurré de Naghin, Beurré Dilly, Poire de Gros, Bronzée d'Enghien, Bon chrétien williams, Calebasse de la reine, Triomphe de Vienne, Seigneur Esperen, Conférence, Beurré Chaboceau, Beurré Hardy, Durondeau, William's Duchesse, Saint-Remy, Beurré d'Hardenpont, Saint-Mathieu, Jeanne d'Arc, Joséphine de Malines, Légipont et Beurré Superfin (partially self-fertile)

The fruits, of large caliber, are harvested in mid-September. Their skin, thin and slightly rough, is greenish yellow in colour, sometimes slightly pink on the side exposed to the sun, then golden yellow. But it is above all their flesh that makes their reputation: white, fine, juicy and very melting, it is delicately sweet and slightly acidic. The pronounced fragrance is particularly pleasant.

Growing and caring for Pyrus communis Beurré Superfin

Growing the Beurré Superfin pear tree is within everyone's reach, provided that you give it the necessary care.

Planting: favour planting in the fall to allow the roots to settle in well before winter.

Watering: young pear trees need regular watering when planting. Mature, well-rooted trees will better withstand dry periods.

Fertilization: adding compost each year in the fall will enrich the soil and promote the tree's growth.

Pruning: pruning is essential to keep the tree healthy and promote regular fruiting. There are different pruning techniques, but goblet pruning is often preferred for pear trees.

Pruning the Beurré Superfin pear tree is generally done every two to three years in winter, when the tree is dormant.

The main reasons for pruning are:

Limit the vigor of the tree

Encourage fruit production

Maintain a balanced shape

When pruning, it is advisable to remove dead branches, diseased branches and branches that cross. It is also important to shorten the ends of the fruit branches to encourage the production of new fruiting shoots.

Diseases: not very susceptible to scab

Harvesting and storage

Beurré Superfin pears are harvested when the skin begins to turn yellow. Fruit harvested at the right time can be stored for a few weeks in the cellar.
