How to Care for the Plant

Fertilizer
Fertilizing once a year should be enough for your pear tree. Care, in fact, must be taken to avoid over fertilization which produces a lovely tree, but no fruit.
Sunlight
Find a location in your garden that receives full sun daily.
Soil
These fruit trees are able to handle wet soil, though for optimal growth it should drain well.
