The optimal place for pears is a platform closed by buildings or plantings from the north winds.
The tree can also be located near the southwestern tip of the neighboring site. Winter varieties of pears, as the most sensitive plants, are placed near the southern wall of the house.
Stone fruit trees: cherry, peach, apricot, plum, cherry plum and other “bad” neighbors for pears that suppress it.
The soil
Pear is a tree that grows on fertile, loose soils and produces abundant crops of fragrant fruits.
The optimal soil for planting pears should be neutral or with minimal acidity. On poor, acidic and excessively wet soils, the pear takes root very hard and often refuses to bear fruit.
Watering
Young pear trees in the first two months after planting must be watered 2 times a week (two watering cans per plant).
Then water according to the weather (but at least once a week). It is important that in the near-stem circles the earth is constantly well moistened.
Fertilizer
Most of all, pears need phosphorus and potassium in order for the fruits to develop properly. Fertilizers when planting pears in the spring are brought into the hole, mixed with soil.
Use peat, compost or mullein, as well as phosphorus and potassium. Mineral dressings are placed at the very bottom of the pit so that there is no contact with tender roots.
