pear tree
I have long wanted to plant a pear tree. I don’t know which variety to choose, preferably one that bears fruit well and does not die out. What care is required? How about the apple tree?

The pear is not a very demanding tree, so growing it is not such a difficult task. Pear trees need to be fertilized no more than once every three years. During drought, it is advisable to water, especially if the plant is still young and its root system is not developed. And the soil around the tree should be clean and loose.
It probably depends on the variety. Alina writes here that she cannot cope with her pear. But I won’t bother with southern varieties, I know it won’t do any good. I have an ordinary Severyanka, and she is not at all capricious.
In principle, a pear tree will require the same care as an apple tree, but you need to remember that this fruit tree is less resistant to frost and frost. Therefore, when choosing, pay attention only to those varieties that can take root in your region.
I really love the pear, not only eating the fruit, but also maintaining it. I already have two large trees and one young tree of a different variety. Let me put it briefly - it doesn’t require any care at all! The only thing that I personally have...is an apple tree growing nearby - it has taken root very poorly and the fruits are wormy, the leaves rot quickly...which I did not do. But an experienced gardener said that this is the best fertilizer for my pear!
I would like to know in more detail that the best fertilizer for your pear is the fruits and leaves of a neighboring apple tree? I have the opposite problem - for the second year, the pear fruits are rotting right on the tree and the leaves are turning black... What should I do?
I would like to recommend the Rogneda variety. We already have such an old pear, but during the entire period of growth there were no problems with it. The fruits are large, sweet, juicy if they sit for a while and ripen. Ripen in September. The tree is not susceptible to most diseases and has good winter hardiness. I think this variety will suit you. In the spring you just need to dig up and fertilize.
I don’t know how it is in your region, but in the Khabarovsk Territory, pear trees bear fruit every year. Either the branches are bursting from the harvest, or there are a dozen fruits on the whole tree. And ours is a bit tart; there are no soft, oily fruits, as in the West.

We have the same picture, the pear bears fruit in a year. I don’t know why this is connected, but one year there are a lot of fruits on the branches and if you don’t collect them on time, they begin to quickly deteriorate, and the next year the tree doesn’t bloom at all.
For the middle zone, plant two pears: “Lada” and “Chizhevsky”, but always in pairs and so that the wind rose is directed from the Chizhevsky pear to the Lada variety. Then you will collect the harvest in huge baskets. as we have been doing this for fifteen years! Take the advice.
