#ProPlantTips for Care

Plant Pear trees in full sun for best results. They need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day.

You will also want a spot that has good air circulation. Avoid low-lying, frost-trapping planting sites that might harm the spring blooms.

They prefer well-drained soil types, and won't tolerate standing water. Plant in a raised bed or mounded planting site to improve drainage, if needed.

Give a moderate amount of water on a regular basis. Apply a thick layer of mulch over the root system and spread it out to 3 feet past the canopy. Pull mulch back several inches all around the trunk for air circulation.

Tip prune to control size in summertime. Our experts say to "Choose a size, and keep it there." Remove crossing or broken branches any time of year. Sculpt scaffolding branches to 45 degree angles in late winter.

Boost the quality of your food with homegrown fruit. As you can imagine, foodies and homeowners across the country are searching for these popular trees.
