If it is your first time growing pear trees, then you will need to consider these six steps of successful growing. First, tree selection, then site selection/soil preparation, planting, pruning, watering, and lastly protecting against pests and diseases.
The first step in your journey to grow pear trees is selecting the right tree for your conditions and preferences. Six factors you can consider are fruiting, pollination, size/rootstock, chill hours, disease resistance, and hardiness zone. Feel free to read more in depth about pear tree selection. Rootstocks help control the size of the tree and you can read more pear tree rootstocks. Once you know what to look for you can easily find the pear tree for you with our filtering system. You can select the right size/rootstock, hardiness zone and disease resistance.
The second step is selecting the right site for your trees and starting to prepare the soil. The five factors to consider for how to select your orchard site are elevated/rolling land, well-draining loamy soil, the right pH, full to partial sun, and protection from strong winds. Pear trees grow best in well-drained sandy loam soil that has a pH between 6.0 – 6.5 (although they can also tolerate soils with a pH of 5.0-7.5). However they can also survive in other soils as long as they are well-draining. If the soil doesn’t drain well, then the chance of root and crown rot increases. Additionally lack of good drainage can decrease root growth.
The third step is planting! You should know when is the right time to plant as well as how to plant a pear tree . There are about ten steps that you can easily follow.
The fourth important step is pruning a pear tree . Pear trees can be grown in a central leader, modified central leader or open center form. However it is crucial to remove dead, diseased and damaged limbs. Afterwards, prune back non-primary scaffold branches, then prune the suckers. Next prune back the upward, inward, and downward growing branches and then prune the whorls. And lastly, prune back all branches by 1/3rd of their length and thin the buds.
The fifth step is to know how to water pear trees. Newly planted trees would need more water than a mature tree. In fact about 5 gallons of water (one large bucket) about 3 times a week is adequate. Established trees only need to be watered when there is little rainfall or when you experience drought. Generally, about an inch of rainfall every seven to ten days is enough.
The sixth step to growing is protecting the tree from pests and diseases. The key factor is to practice organic pest management and also spray the tree for specific diseases at the right time.
