Keep pear trees well fertilized, free of pests
Last week we took a look at pear
production from a varietal stand
point. This week I would like to
delve further into pear culture, this
time in the areas of fertilization,
harvesting and pest control.
Pears do well in soils with a pH
of between 5.9 and 6.5. In order to
determine your pear soil’s pH, take
a soil sample of the area and follow
the recommendations given.
Generally, pears should be fertilized
each year, half before growth ap
pears in the early spring, and half
after fruit set. One cup of 10-10-10
per year of tree age is recommended.

No more than 12 cups should be
applied, however. If frost prevents
fruit set, do not apply the second
half.
As with any crop, there are pests
which will threaten your pear crop.
Two common diseases are fire
blight and pear leaf spot.
Fire blight is a disease which
usually shows up during bloom.
Affected tissues become water
soaked and wither and turn black.
The blight, moving down and the
branch from the point of infection,
causes the tissue under the bark of
recently killed leaves or flowers to

turn dark.
Fire blight can be prevented by
the use of a spray program begin
ning at bloom and continuing
throughout the summer. However,
sprays will not control the disease
once it has become established.
Diseased branches should, therefore,

be cut and burned.
Pear leafspot appears as small
purplish-black spots on the leaves
or fruit which reduce the rate of
photosynthesis and thus overall
pear production. Like blight,
leafspot can only be controlled with
a spray program beginning as the
first leaves appear and continuing
through July.
Pruning is very important to suc
cessful pear production. Early train
ing and pruning are necessary to de
velop a strong tree.
At planting, the trees should be
pruned back to single stems 24 to

30 inches tail. After the second sea
son, the lower limbs should be tied
down to a 45 degree angle to help
the tree receive maximum light.
I hope you have gained some ba
sic information about pear culture
which will enable you to grow the
biggest, tastiest pears around. Good
luck!
