Pear trees are beautiful fruit trees that produce delicious fruits in various sizes and colors, depending on the chosen variety. The scientific name for pear is Pyrus communis and it belongs to the Rosaceous family.
The first thing you need to consider when planting a pear tree is choosing the right variety, as not all pears are resistant. Most varieties only start producing consistent amounts of fruit after 5-6 years, so the process from planting to harvesting will be quite long, but the joy will be worth it!
For pollination, you need to plant at least two different varieties, and regarding the soil, don't worry because any soil is suitable for pears, especially if it has been well enriched with natural fertilizer.
The main factor when choosing where to plant pear trees in your garden is light. They need very good luminosity and require a distance of 6-7 meters between them.
Like most fruit trees, pears are planted late autumn or early spring and must be protected from frost, especially in the first few years, as this will hinder the fruiting process.
After the first few years after planting, when the tree starts to bear its first fruits, it needs to be protected from worms that will immediately make their way into the fruit and the bark of the trees. Try, as much as possible, to use only natural insecticides and avoid using a very high number of chemicals.
