What is the plant

Pears are a popular fruit tree for the home garden because they’re low-maintenance, have beautiful blossoms, and are easily trained to grow in a small space. As if that weren’t enough, pear trees are as hardy as apple trees (they can thrive in USDA hardiness zones 3 through 10) and are very pest- and disease-resistant.

If you’ve recognized any mistakes feel free to notify us about it. This would help us to provide only the best-quality information.

How to Care for the Plant

Water
Water the young trees well during dry spells to help establish the roots.
Pruning
Prune annually to keep the tree healthy. Generally, prune lightly to keep the trees looking their best and productive.
Fertilizer
Apply a small amount of fertilizer early in the year. Add ⅛ pound of ammonium nitrate per tree multiplied by the number of years the tree has been set in moderately fertile soil. If you have highly fertile soil, use less fertilizer.
