DWARF Pyrus communis 'Josephine De Malines' (Dwarf Josephine De Malines Pear) is a compact and highly regarded heritage pear variety, prized for its exceptional flavour and manageable size. This dwarf tree produces medium-sized pears with smooth, greenish-yellow skin often blushed with red. The flesh is fine-textured, buttery, and aromatic with a rich, sweet-tart flavour that is excellent for fresh eating and desserts. In spring, it is covered in a beautiful display of white blossoms, making it both ornamental and productive.

Ideal for small gardens, courtyards, and container growing, this dwarf pear thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and full sun. While partially self-fertile, planting it near another compatible pear variety can improve fruit set. This low-maintenance tree is valued for its superb fruit quality, compact habit, and ability to provide both aesthetic appeal and delicious home-grown harvests in limited spaces.
