    My neighbor planted 1 pear tree in his yard in the 60's. It produces a big crop every other year. No other pear tree to cross pollinate with. The best tasting pears, ever.

      Fruit trees can be located a loooong distance away and still pollinate.

      @@jamiestendahl5592 no, not every type of fruit tree, it’s true for pears but not for many others. Apricots for example are self pollinating, same with many cherry, nectarine and plum varieties.

    They grow perfectly well in northern areas like here in Quebec and we have -30C to -35C temperatures in winter.
    But if you have harsh winter put something to protect the trunk against the sun in winter.

    Thank you, Luke!! We rent, but we are allowed leeway with the yard. There's a single (neglected) old anjou pear tree in the yard that produces vigorously, the branches get laden with fruits, but they're hard and bitter. I'll take this input and put it to work in the coming season, in hope of bringing this one back to a more productive form. Someone else in the area must have a pear tree also, though, as this one here is the only one on the property, but like I say, the branches are loaded with fruits. We're in a 5a zone, if that makes any difference.

I'm trying to not every spray them I want everything organic and now wonder how I will keep them fungal /disease Free in such hot and humid weather! We also battle clay soil here which they don't like I just read! I know they like sun but wonder sometimes if they'd be better here among some trees that give alittle shade part of the day

    I raise mason bees to pollinate my fruit trees. I planted a pear this spring and it already has fruit growing.
    Make your yard a habitat for native pollinators. Mason bees do 50x the pollination than honey bees and you won't have to worry about cross pollination.

    • @moewilson4605
      @moewilson4605 5 лет назад +2

      We are so hoping our two pear tree make it. We plant tomorrow. Mason bees are part of our plan. We bought a bee house for solitary pollinators and hope they will find it. I have seen them in the area. We are also planting pink clover into our grass and some flowering bushes. Unfortunately, as we back onto green belt, we have to put stakes and netting around our smaller trees so they are not eaten by deer. We burlap in the winter as we live in Ottawa and it can drop to below minus 40 Celsius on occasion.

    • @cindymcphail9694
      @cindymcphail9694 4 года назад

      Did the same this year, but we had an extended period of 45F and the blooms came and went before it went to > 50F when the bees came out. next year... a new pear tree so that there will be a companion for pollinating.

    they are still silky and alive but it just seems odd. The plant is about 2 months old, and it seems to be growing. It had recently sprouted a new leaf and that leaf is. also turning brown but is also not very green. Oddly, the leaf seems to be growing. The plant is underneath an artificial. light indoors in a room-temp environment and is in a plastic cup that isn't that deep. The dirt has some fertilizer in it, and i water it every 1 and a half days.

    I have a question: can you grow another pear tree from suckers? I have read that yes you can and I have also read that they won't produce fruit. Do you happen to know?

    I've got a Bartlett, Kieffer and just planted a Moonglow. Can you recommend something that will go well with those?

      Try the Seckel sugar pear or the Comice pear. Both sweet, delicious dessert varieties

    Is that a dwarf? Seems really close to the house for a standard tree.

    I have two dwarf pear trees. Do I need a different kind next to them?

    I have a single pear tree that looks like it nearly died and it's been coming back and producing lots of fruit but no other pears nearby... So I'm confused by you saying they need cross pollination to produce. Could you explain? I really want to care for it better. I'm studying up on it.

    Are Sand pears the exception to having two varieties ? I have only 1 tree and it made tons of pears.

    Since I have a relatively small yard I decided to plant a pear and apple tree that are espaliers. Can you show how and when to prune these types of trees. Thanks.

    I live in Texas and planted a pear tree from seed about a year ago. Since then, I have learned (as you stated) that they need much colder weather than Texas has to offer. Is it possible to use my pear tree as root stock for an orange tree so I can give a go at something that will actually fruit well in Texas, or should I abandon the plant? I am aware that Texas is under a citrus quarantine, but as there are no citrus plants around me (that I am aware of) I doubt my citrus would catch or spread disease.

    Be patient and prune every year, even when the young trees don't produce. After 10 years our five pear trees are finally producing fruit!

    How big does tree get before pruning? I obtained a 1-foot long bare root sapling, planted a couple months ago. It's flourishing (here in central MI) but it's so tiny I can't imagine it should be pruned, hence the question. -- it's just one tree but it's a 5-variety Franken-tree.

    Nice guide - I just planted a Seckel and Moonglow last week.
    Situation - I am wanting to plant trees in front of a my house for privacy. I ordered 5 mimosa trees and planted them three weeks ago. The problem is that despite the steep slope of my hill, there is inadequate drainage and the soil is heavy with clay. All 5 saplings turned orange-yellow in color and I think it's due to too much water. Question: I plan to replace all the dying mimosa trees with a water loving tree. I would like to pick something that provides fruit or something useful but still can also serve as a privacy barrier to the road. I know you said peach trees love water, but this is basically a bog. Any ideas on what I should plant?
    Very appreciative of any answer you have for me - Thanks!
