Watering

Water deeply during dry periods; established trees are moderately drought-tolerant.

Fertilizing

Apply a balanced fruit tree fertilizer in early spring and early summer.

Pruning

Prune according to chosen training method. See pruning new pear trees, summer pear pruning, winter pear pruning, renovating pear trees and pruning established fans

Propagation

Propagate by chip budding in late summer, or grafting in mid-winter, onto a clonal rootstock for pears. Fruit grown from pips is unlikely to resemble the parent

Growing

Needs a deep, fertile, moist but well-drained, fairly neutral soil in a sheltered, sunny position. Will not thrive on very acid soils, shallow chalk soils or with shade for more than half the day. See pear cultivation for further advice
