Can anyone recommend a site to buy a pear tree online? I would rather pay a little more for a healthy well grown tree so has anybody used a good online site?
Does it have to be online? I bought some trees (self-fertile) from "yougarden" through amazon. However, I would recommend homebase if they still have bare root trees. The reason is this - I bought a cherry tree (self fertile) from homebase couple of weeks ago. Its very healthy and growing really well (check page 2 of the below link to see it). In addition to that you can look at the tree structure/shape before paying for it.
I want something a bit unusual hence I think online will carry a greater range and I am looking for a small tree no more than 6-7 feet fully grown. Have looked at orange pippin they don't have much left in stock but will look again in autumn though can't see any small trees.
Hi I've bought all my top fruit trees from: chrisbowers.co.uk If your interested in a slightly unusual but very prolific pear tree on a small root stock then 'Invincible' is definitely one to try. I've had mine for 10 years and it's been very reliable. Looks like I might get another heavy crop again this year.

They are renowned for having an enormous range of hard-to-find and often ancient varieties.
Their system for ordering and buying looks a bit clunky but that is just because they are a tiny company. They are very friendly and helpful though.

When you see the range you will be stuck for choice.🙂
If you live in Derbyshire, as I do.
