Le Lectier pear tree: A prestigious and profitable variety for producers

As a specialist wholesale supplier of pear trees, we offer the Le Lectier pear tree, an exceptional heritage variety from Orléans. Known for its large, pear-shaped fruits with melting, fragrant flesh, this late-ripening variety stands out for its unique taste and long shelf life, lasting until January.

Thanks to a late harvest (November-December) and premium demand in high-end markets, the Le Lectier pear tree represents a strategic opportunity for producers wishing to diversify their offering and optimize their profitability with a niche variety.


A historical heritage and a high-end market

Obtained by Auguste Lesueur and named in homage to François Le Lectier, a great lover of pear trees under Henri IV, this variety has been cultivated for centuries for its exceptional fruits.

Although its cultivation is demanding, it is still prized today, particularly in the Centre-Val de Loire region and in Japan (Niigata), where it enjoys prestigious status. Its high yield and late harvest make it a profitable solution for producers wishing to capture a differentiated market.
