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.
@@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.
I just watched a video of yours of dos and donts of growing fruit trees where you literally say. "Do not backfill with compost" but in this one you say do backfill with compost.
I'm not allergic to apples but they give me bad stomach aches and acid reflux but I love Asian pears! Love to dehydrate them too. I started 3 from seed and are now just over a month old. You need a pair of pear trees lol
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 just bought some of those and already having regrets cause I live in zone 8 where it's hot and humid and we face all the fungal anything could face and just read they can have many issues. 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
Great info...We have 800 plus chill hours, so the pears should be great when they get growing...Thanks. Am going to try doing the straw mulching method from now on, so this will be interesting.
So funny that I found you today. I'm allergic to apple peel (so apples) and I love pears. I bought a self pollinating pear tree yesterday. Thanks for sharing.
People can be allergic to anything. I'm allergic to aloe! I also know someone who is allergic to water! All thanks to genetic variation, I suppose! :-)
I appreciate the info! I just bought a Kieffer and a Bartlett! This is our first home and I wanted to start some young fruit trees to watch grow and enjoy as we spend time here :)
Good information Luke! I planted 1 pear tree 7 years ago and it has never put on fruit until last year and this year. The fruit is very small and very few of them. I never knew that I needed to grow 2 of them. Thanks a million!!
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.
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.
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.
When I purchased my pear trees, the chart shows that Bosc is a pollinator for Bartlette. But on further research, it seems that the Bosc flowers and produces fruit several months later. Is this correct? Will these pollinate each other or not? Thanks for a very informative video!
Some pear trees are self pollinating like the Bartlett. However in northern California the winters are warm. Does a comice pear require chill hours? Does this effect the quality of the fruit?
I have a Bartlett that was here when I moved here 18 years ago. It's gotten fruit every year but one, whe had too much rain that year when it was blooming. Only one tree and a plum tree about 100 yards away. I think it's been here since the 1950's.
I have a 4-in1 pear tree we just purchased. Is there anything else that I should do? I plan to take the flowers off. I'm nervous about it, but I will follow your instructions. Then we'll add the amendments and prune when specified as well. The neighbor already has a pear tree in his yard, so I won't have to worry too much. Same with apples and peach trees in their yard. Thanks for all your wealth of information!
i have two pear trees...one keiffer pear and the other bartlett pear. The problem im having is that my keiffer blooms alot earlier than my bartlett. could this affect the way they pollinate???? or do they still pollinate just because their 10 ft apart???
One reason to love Fresno California. Huge ag region and we can grow ALMOST everything. We get right around 900 chill hours so we can grow most fruit trees, have a super long growing season and most of the region has amazing native soil. Zone 9b....and we can grow pears here. :)
I Have 2 Bartlett Pear Trees They Both produce an abundance of fruit . They're about 8 years old , but before they ripen they get a brown or rust color on the skin !! I don't know what the problem is I've tried to get the Info on this. Do you have any Idea why this Happens? North of Boston .
Someone near us must have a pear tree, because we have just one, but are overrun by pears every year!We also live in zone nine, in coastal Mississippi. The branches are literally so full that they have a broken on us before. Definitely more than we can eat I will be trying to can some this year
Thanks Luke 🙏 Do You Still Have Your Pear Tree I Am Getting Ready To Go Dig A 9 Ft Pear Tree Up Given To Me !!! ANY Advice To Help Me Transport It Safely And Transplanting To New Home
I'm confused. In your most recent video you stated never fill your hole with anything other than the original soil to promote good root growth. In this video you say to add compost. Which is it?
This is helpful, but do you have a video for caring for fully grown pear trees for a newbie? How to prune big branches, when to pick, if you fertilize, how much to water in the summer months when the rain isn’t consistent?
There are pears which are self pollinating. Yes another helps with better harvest but not necessary. Also there are plenty of varieties with low chill hours for the south. Kieffer pears for example.
Do you prune scaffolding branches 50%/1-2 feet, and try to promote lateral branches? Would u prune lateral branches each year by 50% too and allow another lateral branch to sprout from the year earlier lateral branch?
I just bought 4 pear trees, about 4 ft tall. This is the 2nd time I have tried. My apple trees and citrus grow great, no problem... but my pears continue to try and grow in the grafted area only. I have trimmed the "suckers" many times and I just cannot get any signs of growth on the upper branches. Those branches are are still very alive. Is there a trick to getting the tree to grow up top rather than below the graph.
Is it normal for a single pear tree to fruit? I have had one in my back yard since I moved in 4 years ago and every year since we’ve gotten around 100 pears from that tree. Are those pears good for eating?
Great video! Any tips on what to apply to overcome pear rust problems on a mature pear tree? Had this issue surge up twice now and am wondering if there is anything that I can apply early Spring to overcome this problem? Thank you for all these very informative videos!
Do you have any idea why my pear sapling's leaves are shading to a brown color? 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 comice pear tree and the fruit is mealy and uneatable. Is this because of the heavy clay soil or because it is cross pollinating with an apple tree.
when is best time to buy and plant pear trees? i live in the north panhandle of Fla. and already by end of April days are getting hot i planted couple of Blueberry bushes and already getting some leaf scorching despite planting in full afternoon early evening sun. I've been looking at the "Moonglow", and the "Honey Sweet" variety due to compatibility to my zone 8b .
I have two mature pear trees that produce well, but the pears tend to be malformed, dimply, and many are small. I have pruned the tree, but still the knotty pears persist. Could this be a boron deficiency? Should I spray after the fruits set? My pear flowers are about to open. Thanks for responding. Paul from SE Minnesota.
Hello.. my name is Alicia Ruiz .. great video. My father planted our Pear tree I want to say it’s about 60 years old believe it or not .. it’s a great tree.. I have a picture of the pear tree at my family’s house the tree is so tasty but I’ve noticed that there’s a lot of ants and bugs in the tree and it has brown spots on the leaves it was not like that before it’s been like that for the last 10 years and I also noticed There’s a tree growing inside the Peartree believe it or not it’s a Christmas tree I also have a picture of this what are your thoughts does anybody know about this it’s very unusual
LOL. 🙂I'm right below zone 8 (in the 7's) in North Carolina, which makes my pear and other fruit trees needing chill hours do well, but at the same time warm enough that I can load up on gardening. Actually, I recently built a hoophouse for lemons, limes, oranges, grapefruit trees I bought this winter. Also, planning to buy some more exotic fruits most have never heard of here in the USA.
love your videos. thx. quick question...in ny, can I grow a pear tree from a rooted cutting or does it need to be grafted to a rootstock? Same for apples and peaches,btw? do some fruit species require rootstock and others not?
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?
Need your help...how far a part can 2 pear trees be planted to cross pollinate, I have 1 pear tree 5 years and will buy another this week. Is Georgia a good weather for Pears.....
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.
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.
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!
Im so happy my five pear seeds all germinated 😍
You totally answered why our pear tree was never a great producer at my childhood home, lol! Thanks Luke!
Dude, you're the best. Thank you for making these videos.
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.
Could've been a self-fertile variety like Conference
Fruit trees has to have at least 2 trees even if a neighbor has a tree to produce
@@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.
My parents have one that self pollinates.
I just watched a video of yours of dos and donts of growing fruit trees where you literally say. "Do not backfill with compost" but in this one you say do backfill with compost.
I second that. And you were adamant about backfilling with the soil from the hole. NO compost.
You have to "Prune Top" it. I waited 10+ years... Until I decided to CHOP THE TOP OFF.....Here: ruclips.net/video/AUBnRP3yC_M/видео.html

Hey great video. How far apart can the two different varieties of pear trees be for cross pollination?
I'm glad to have a pear seedlings here in the Philippines..
I inherited three pear, a peach and two apple trees on my land ... thank you for this. Ive had a terrible year of pears last few years.

Apples make you let out stinky smelly farts.
I didn't either! Until I developed a severe apple allergy 15 years ago :( I've developed a craving for pears for just such a reason.
im planting an apple tree and a pear tree next to each other will that help with the poll?

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!
