The best time to plant is during the dormant season in autumn or early spring, provided the ground is not frozen.
No, you need a different, compatible pear variety that flowers at the same time to ensure effective cross-pollination.
The ultimate size depends on the rootstock, but you should allow plenty of space for the tree to spread in a sunny, open area.
While they start in 2-litre pots, they will eventually perform best when planted in the ground, though they can be kept in large containers if managed with regular pruning and feeding.
Harvest in October when the fruit is full-sized but still firm; they will ripen to perfection in storage over the following weeks.
Verify that a compatible pollinator variety is planted within a close proximity to facilitate cross-pollination.

This may be caused by late spring frost damage. Protect young trees during cold snaps using horticultural fleece.
