A versatile and robust spur-bearing pear, well-suited for cordons and orchard enthusiasts alike. This medium-sized, highly resilient fruit tree boasts the unique ability to flower twice in spring, ensuring a reliable harvest even in the face of early frosts. The fruit, with its russet skin and sweet, juicy flesh, matures from early autumn to late winter, offering a range of culinary uses from cooking to dessert. The first fruits are crisp and green, transitioning to a softer, sweeter, and juicier state with a delightful yellow flush as the season progresses. ‘Invincible’ is particularly recommended forthose in northern climates or frost-prone areas, where it demonstrates superb hardiness. The main winter prune, avoiding frosty conditions, involves removing dead, dying, and diseased wood to create an open crown. Additionally, reduce leaders and laterals by a third to establish an airy structure without crisscrossing branches. In August, summer prune by shortening side shoots longer than 20cm (8”) back to three leaves, promoting fruit ripening and encouraging more fruit buds. Always ensure that the growth you trim feels firm to the touch. Pears naturally shed a small quantity of the developing fruits in mid summer. After this has occurred, thin out the remaining pears, leaving one pear per cluster.
