Your pear tree does not bloom or bear fruit year after year? UAportal has prepared recommendations to get rid of this problem and get a good harvest.

Lighting and soil conditions

For optimal fruiting, pears need sufficient lighting and quality soil. A shady location or poorly drained soil can hinder their fruiting. Make sure your pear tree gets enough sunlight and loosen the soil if necessary to improve drainage.

Cross-pollination

Most trees rely on cross-pollination. To increase the chances of fruiting, it is very important to have several varieties of pears in your garden. Be sure to choose species that have the same flowering periods.

Protection against frost

Frost can negatively affect blossoms, buds, and young ovaries, resulting in poor flowering. Consider taking additional protective measures, such as covering the trees during frosty periods or choosing cold-resistant varieties.

Patience

Some pear varieties may not bloom or bear fruit for several years, so it is important to be patient.
