Landscape Uses and Maintenance - Pear Fruit Tree 3-4'

Have a small space but still want to be able to grow your own food? This is a medium sized fruit tree that can be espaliered into smaller, more complex, compact shapes with training in order to make the most of any small area. You won’t need to go to the store for pears any longer!

This tree will become dotted with beautiful and fragrant white flowers in the spring. Flowers will attract many pollinators to your garden, including bees. Leaves will turn from bright green into a warm yellow in the fall.

This is a low maintenance fruit tree that will need little direct care throughout the years.

Plant this tree in full sun. Avoid planting in partial shade in order to have the best fruit set.

Water thoroughly when first planted until well established. Make sure to water in times of drought. The water is directly proportional to how juicy your fruits are, so be sure to keep moist.

Prune this tree yearly, making sure to cut off any damaged or diseased branches. Thinning out the branches will help keep airflow through the center of the tree.

The fruits will attract plenty of hungry wildlife, so be sure to protect and harvest ripening fruits quickly. Squirrels, raccoons, bears and birds are all attracted to these juicy fruits.

Care

Pear fruit trees thrive with consistent watering and well-drained soil. Trim yearly to keep shape and remove dead or overcrowded branches. Fertilize in early spring and protect from pests and diseases. Often, check for signs of pests.

Plant Reproduction

The Pear Fruit Tree spreads through seeds, grafting, or rooting.

Plant fruit trees in early spring or late fall when the weather is cool. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice the width of the roots and double as deep as the root system. When the tree is put in the hole, make sure the graft union (a noticeable bump where the tree was grafted above the rootstock) is above the soil line. Put dug-out soil around the tree roots, gently firmly remove air pockets, and water thoroughly.
Water young trees regularly, especially during dry spells, to establish a robust root system. Once established, water deeply and less frequently. Prune fruit trees yearly during the dormant season to remove dead or diseased wood, improve air circulation, and shape the tree for optimal fruit production. Fertilize in early spring and thin the fruit when necessary to prevent overbearing, which can stress the tree and reduce fruit quality.
