Pyrus spp., commonly known as the pear tree, is a deciduous fruit tree prized for its sweet, juicy fruit and attractive spring blossoms. Fun fact: pear trees can remain productive for 50 years or more with proper care, making them one of the longest-lived fruit trees in the home orchard. Their beautiful white flowers and glossy foliage also make them an excellent ornamental addition to the landscape.
Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun
• Water: Water regularly until established; once established, water deeply during extended dry periods, especially while fruit is developing
• Pruning: Prune in late winter while dormant to maintain an open canopy, remove dead or crossing branches, and improve fruit production
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced fruit tree fertilizer in early spring before new growth begins
