How To Grow Pear Trees From Seed - Month 56 I started these pear trees from store bought seed (D'Anjou Pears) on 7/10/16. They are now 56+ months old. In this video, I'll catch you up on the 3 pear trees and also show you my other pear varieties, Bartlett and Orient - which are now 6 year old trees. I'm hoping the largest D 'Anjou pear tree can FINALLY set some fruit (now that it has flowered) and finally grown enough to handle the Texas Summers and weathering it's third "winter," fighting fire blight, and acclimating to the Texas Clay. It's been a fight getting them acclimated after spending almost 8 months indoors. I am currently giving them a half dose of tree and shrub fertilizer (14-14-14) and doing my best to keep them well watered and free of pests, like aphids and white flies, as well as keeping my eyes on their leaves for any more sight of the dreaded fire blight! I plan on being more diligent in keeping this series updates throughout the year, so stay tuned and join me as we see them go from seed to fruit bearing trees - I hope! Here is the entire series from episode 1: ruclips.net/p/PLKJSapt21HvXf_Xg3yOaj_f8aVTPm6PDe I hope you are enjoying the journey along with me!

Hi Rob. One thing you might want to try is to graft 1 yr old branches from each of your seedlings onto your mature trees. This is commonly done in fruit breeding programs to see what fruit the seedlings produce faster.
Nice update Rob! Looking forward to seeing my pear tree one day flower! It is two years old now and the leaves budding for spring. New to the game... But I managed successfully make 10 cuttings from the tree from seed and they all have taken really well. Do you know if one day I could pollinate between the same tree cuttings? Although I read somewhere they need pollination from another cultivar (variety) to fruit well.
How exciting. Thanks for the update. I'll he so excited for you to get fruit. I just bought a couple semi dwarf trees at lowes and planted them sunday. I also have some cuttings of another pear tree from someone local that I planted. Hoping I see some growth soon. I would personally dig up that tree that's dead. Looking forward to an update.
Your trees that are Dying in the same spot over and over is because of the dog pee run off and Charlani spraying of "Simple Green" in the dog's gravel area. Meanwhile get a level and check your run off in that area, would be my suggestion. Dog pee is devastating to tree roots.
Could be and likely is the culprit. The other two trees do well over there though BUT luckily we have allowed him (Kai) access to the entire year now so not so concentrated to one spot. Thanks brother!
I was just going to comment the same exact thing and saw your response at the top.. I've trained my dog to go to the bathroom in a very small dirt area next to my lawn. It seems better when its dirt and not gravel because it soaks right into that one area... No dog better be messin' with my lawn, not even my own!! 😂
Don't plant anything in that area again. I have one place in my orchard where a highly transmissible fungus took hold. I had to dig up my Methley plum tree & burn it; roots & all. My agriculture extension warned me to never plant another living thing in that spot.
I dont think its the dog unless its being fed wet food as dry food is not acidic. My feeling is the gravel is the problem its keeping the ground cool and the roots dont know what time of year it is! Roots need air and feed my suggestion is all your plants need mulching with fresh or old grass clippings 2 inches at least this will also feed the plants and encourage worms or as you call them night crawlers. By the way its always a good idea before planting out to disinfect the soil of bugs and bacteria with a mild solution of jeyes fluid or similar disinfectant you can also spray all your plants with it also in leaf! If you have Aphids spray with used dishwater. 👍
Maybe cage it off and try flushing the ground with a lot of water. Hopefully the flushing with wash out anything excess out of the soil. Another thought is researching the tree and the soil types it prefers might tell you if you need to amend your soil there or change your water scheduling.
I just found your channel. Thank you SO much for sharing your progress. I planted a pineapple head in my backyard about 2 months ago & I’m always looking for some realistic footage on backyard gardening.
Just in time for the next cold front. Sorry about that because you are so happy. I hear it will be worse than the last freeze. All the way down to where I am in central Florida.
I just found this channel through your RFT channel. I'm a landscaper of 16 years and RI master gardener and Precious Metals lover, so you are now my favorite RUclips content provider! Lol. Your citrus tree vids are especially great since I have a potted 10 year old grapefruit tree that I have kept under 4ft by training the branches and pruning (I guess it could be bonsai). However it has yet to produce fruit. It seems healthy and no signs of stress. Any thoughts?
The ironic part is that it didn’t take that tree that much longer than my grafted pear to flower (4.5 years vs 3 years). Congratulations man! Any variety name ideas if it produces edible fruit?
I got 25 seed in the fridge wild pear. 1/16/2021 they went in so will be trying them in May to see if i can sprout some .....I have hope. Wild Pear - Pyrus pyraster
Hy man I know its not related but I got jackfruit and from seed they grow fast 2 feet a year yes they will slow down after the 3rd year but they got deep tap roots i grow them there fun and hardy I was wondering would you start one for us you can typically find them at sprouts or Mexican markets oh do a tast review unless your Allergic to latex then don't eat lol
That tree is dead. You could just cut it above the ground and see if there's anything green. If there is, then you could just graft it at this point. But probably dead.

How are the pear trees doing?

Grow grow grow your tree, gently out through time!
Merrily merrily merrily merrily until they reach their prime
Early club!
YAY! Thank you! 🍐

im in California zone 9b im hopping to get mines as good as yours ,i just started my seeds 🙂👌,thank you

I got my first flowers on my pear tree as well!!! It's been about 5 or 6 years, same variety as yours! So exciting!

Looking forward to the citrus and avocado updates. Great videos Rob 👍
Congratulations on your pear tree.
Thanks for the update! :) so much progress time has been flying! ☺️

6:53 that pear tree is soo tall! How do you get the fruit from it ?
I just found your channel. Thank you SO much for sharing your progress. I planted a pineapple head in my backyard about 2 months ago & I’m always looking for some realistic footage on backyard gardening.
Love you energy and enthusiasm.
Good Jobs
I might have to start growing some types of fruit in my garden! The only stuff I have been growing is small vegetables
My sand cherries and blueberries are really going great after all of that cold.
Just in time for the next cold front. Sorry about that because you are so happy. I hear it will be worse than the last freeze. All the way down to where I am in central Florida.
Let’s go Rob!! Excited to see what happens
Can't get mad at that!

WIN!
Good news

Any variety name ideas if it produces edible fruit?
Eggs shell help grow faster and more flowers

Can you update us with your apples please
Where is your apple tree
I wonder if you needed a pollinator tree.
I have a Bartlett and an Orient Pear Tree in the yard as well so hopefully one of them will work with it.
@@RobBackyardGardenerr I saw the other 2 trees AFTER I wrote the stupid comment. 🤪
What's going on with the CItrus trees?
hey Rob did you get any fruit
The squirrels got the few I had…
Hoping with you that the trees fruit. I think you should stop planting in the dead zone for a while.
Any fruit? Update soon?
That spot is cursed! lol leave a potted plant there!
Did you get any fruit sets?
A few but as they ripened the pests got to them!
That tree is dead. You could just cut it above the ground and see if there's anything green. If there is, then you could just graft it at this point. But probably dead.
It's dead.
Dude, stop talking so much and just get to the details
Talk to long
