The cultivation of pear trees for fruit is ancient. The Greek botanist Theophrastus, in his writings, distinguished between wild and cultivated species, and Pliny listed 40 varieties cultivated by the ancient Romans (it seems there are 2,500 today). Pear trees can be grown in any environment with at least 400 hours of chilling and minimum temperatures no lower than -25°C.
Regarding the soil, the best results are obtained in humus-rich, deep, cool soils with active lime content not exceeding 6-7%. Very clayey or asphyxiated soils, as well as very loose soils, should be avoided. Pollination is necessary for all varieties except the self-fertile 'Conference'. The 'William's' variety is an excellent pollinator for all other varieties; it, in turn, is pollinated by 'Conference' and 'Decana del Comizio'.
