Red Williams Pear
United Kingdom
Quince BA29, Seedling
Late August through September
Red Williams Pear shares most of its characteristics with the standard yellow Williams Pear, though it does have some distinct differences. As the name suggests, its skin is deep red, while the flesh is of slightly lower quality compared to the yellow variety. It ripens a few days later. Other features, including rootstock and pollinators, are identical to those of the standard Williams Pear. Red Williams Pear originated as a spontaneous bud mutation of the traditional variety.
The flesh is light yellow, exceptionally juicy, and melts in the mouth with a characteristic muscat aroma. Each bite offers a harmonious blend of sweetness and mild acidity, a perfectly balanced sensation for your palate.
The fruits of the Red Williams Pear are a true marvel of nature. They are large, weighing around 160 grams or more, with slight surface irregularities. The shape and size are similar to the standard Williams variety, but the entire skin is covered with an attractive red hue. The flesh quality is slightly lower than that of the standard yellow Williams Pear.

You can purchase seedlings of Pear Red Williams at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.

Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
*Applies to bare root seedlings.
