Two Way Pear Packhams Triumph and Williams
The Two-Way Pear Packham's Triumph/Williams tree is a versatile dual-variety fruit tree, offering the classic flavours of two beloved pear varieties grafted onto a single tree. This tree produces both the sweet and crisp Packham's Triumph pears and the aromatic, juicy Williams pears, making it perfect for fresh eating, poaching, and adding to desserts. Packham's Triumph pears are known for their smooth green skin that ripens to a light yellow and their firm, sweet flesh. In contrast, the Williams pears feature smooth, green-yellow skin with a rich, buttery flavour and juicy texture. The Two-Way Pear tree is an ideal choice for home gardeners looking for a diverse harvest without needing multiple trees. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, with a harvest season starting in late summer for Williams and extending into early autumn for Packham's Triumph. This dual-variety tree ensures a continuous supply of fresh, homegrown pears throughout the season.

As recommended by the Swiss Rose Garden Nursery.
- Dig a hole 60cm wide and 60cm deep. If the topsoil is usable, separate it from the sand as it can be re-used in the hole. When planting roses in an existing rose bed or where roses have been previously grown during the last 5 years, the soil must be replaced.
- Mix together a mixture that contains 2 parts topsoil, 2 parts compost, 1 part manure or buy a Soil Improver, Landscaping or Rose Soil mix from a Landscape supply place. About 100 litres per planting hole is recommended.
- A layer of manure can be placed at the bottom of the hole and then the hole filled with the above soil mix.
- Place one handful of slow-release fertilizer at 20cm depth from the top where the roots of the newly planted rose will be situated.
- Soak the soil thoroughly and lightly compact.
- Now plant the rose in this mix with the surface of the plant even with the surface of the prepared area, e.g., the graft union should be about 5 to 10 cm above soil level.
- Water every day for the first six months from October onwards, up to 10 litres per day during warm weather is recommended for strong deep root development.
- Plant roses 1m to 1.2m apart.
Enjoy the beautiful roses!
