The Pyrus communis 'Beth' Pear Tree is one of the best modern dessert pears for UK gardens. Bred in East Malling, Kent, it produces medium-sized pears with smooth yellow-green skin flushed with red. The flesh is exceptionally juicy, melting, and sweet — a true gourmet pear that ripens earlier than most varieties, often from late August. Compact, reliable, and self-fertile, Beth is the perfect pear tree for smaller gardens and allotments.
