PEAR Rootstock
Quince (Cydonia oblonga) rootstock is the most popular option for grafting pears. A dwarfing type, it is a different genus to pear (Pyrus).
The advantage in grafting pear onto a quince rootstock is that the tree will begin to fruit much earlier and will have higher fruit yields.
The added advantage is that it is easier to pick fruit and maintain your tree when it is smaller. As quince and pear are only distantly related, not all pear cultivars are compatible with quince rootstock. To guarantee success, an interstem of Beurre Hardy should be used. This is a small section of compatible scion wood grafted between the quince rootstock and the incompatible pear variety.
Seedling D6 Pear (Pyrus calleryana) rootstock may also be used resulting in large trees which are slow to bear fruit. The advantage of this rootstock is that there are no compatibility issues and no need for an interstem when grafting.
Note: To be used as a guide only. All tree heights shown are for mature tree size and are given as a guide only. The eventual size of the grafted tree will be influenced by a number of factors, including soil type, fertility, local climate and the vigour of the scion wood cultivar.
