'Pyrus communis 'Pitmaston Duchess' is both a dessert and cooking pear known for its sweet, subtle flavor when cooked, offering a sugary and tender texture. The tree produces large, well-formed fruits that are suitable for exhibitions, complemented by attractive blossoms on a robust tree. This variety yields its harvest over a brief period from late September to October. It belongs to pollination group 4 and is a triploid; thus, it requires a compatible non-triploid pear from flowering groups 3, 4, or 5 for successful pollination. Since 'Pitmaston Duchess' does not produce viable pollen, an additional, different pear must also be planted to facilitate the pollination process.
