Powick Jennet

Sale price£24.00

A previously thought of as a Welsh perry pear once known as Welsh Gin.

Sweet, slightly bittersweet juice, low in tannins and acid.

Previously thought to be Welsh Gin, but DNA testing has confirmed it to be Powick Jennet. A project officer involved stated: 'A batch of DNA samples sent to Brogdale for testing showed a match between a Welsh variety – the Welsh Gin – and a tree in Worcestershire, rumoured to be the last Jennet perry pear. It was amicably decided that, since we had roads and farms named after the tree in its locality, it could be claimed by the English.'

Make of that what you will!

What will my trees be like when they arrive?

Our trees are supplied as bare root trees in the dormant season (usually December - March).

  • 1 year old "maiden" trees will usually arrive as a single, flexible stem (or some varieties will also have some side-shoots). Our 1 year-old trees are at least 90cm tall and can be up to 150cm (3ft - 5ft).
  • Our older trees are 2 or 3 years old, usually have some branching and may have some fruit buds. They are between generally 110cm and 150cm (4ft - 5ft).

Trees that have grown over 150cm will be pruned to a bud at the top to fit into the packaging.

Excellent service

After choosing our perry pear trees from the informative website, we eagerly awaited their arrival. They arrived promptly, were well packaged and included planting instructions. There was a lovely personal message in the package which we will treasure always. Our beautiful little trees are now safely planted in a traditional orchard location and we are eagerly anticipating our first blossom. Many thanks Tyn Y Berllan!
