  1. I have a German Seckle pear tree in my yard that stopped producing two years ago. It's 15 years old. I'm not sure what's wrong with it. I only ever had one, but that was never a problem before, so I'm wondering if maybe there was a second one in the area somewhere that was pollinating it that may have been cut down or something. But I don't think that's the problem because last year it kind of started to produce, but the pears seemed to disappear after they got to about one inch in size. And half the tree seems to be dead. But the other half is fine and it's been blossoming the past two years. I'm wondering if it has some disease, or if some kind of animal has been getting them before they reach full maturity. Any ideas? If I cut off the dead part, when's the best time of year to do it?

  2. This is helpful, but do you have a video for caring for fully grown pear trees for a newbie? How to prune big branches, when to pick, if you fertilize, how much to water in the summer months when the rain isn’t consistent?

  3. Their are self fruitful pear varieties out there. Also, Bradford pears cross pollinate with edible pears. You can grow pears in zone 9. You just have to pick the right kind.

  4. I have two mature pear trees that produce well, but the pears tend to be malformed, dimply, and many are small. I have pruned the tree, but still the knotty pears persist. Could this be a boron deficiency? Should I spray after the fruits set? My pear flowers are about to open. Thanks for responding. Paul from SE Minnesota.

  5. I have a single pear tree that looks like it nearly died and it's been coming back and producing lots of fruit but no other pears nearby… So I'm confused by you saying they need cross pollination to produce. Could you explain? I really want to care for it better. I'm studying up on it.

  6. So funny that I found you today. I'm allergic to apple peel (so apples) and I love pears. I bought a self pollinating pear tree yesterday. Thanks for sharing.

  7. I moved in a house and they have a pear tree in the back and it’s producing a bunch of them right now and I know nothing about them…they’re like fully grown cherry size right now

  8. I wish there was better information about how to cope with older trees and plants. Our yard has ratty old pear and apple trees, several dozen raggedy, huge blueberry bushes, gigantic, overgrown raspberry bushes, and ancient rose bushes — all which have rarely been pruned or fed and when they were..badly. They are all productive but I can’t learn what to do with crusty, elderly plants. It’s not time to execute them! They are just taking too much room and are unsightly.

  9. How big does tree get before pruning? I obtained a 1-foot long bare root sapling, planted a couple months ago. It's flourishing (here in central MI) but it's so tiny I can't imagine it should be pruned, hence the question. — it's just one tree but it's a 5-variety Franken-tree.
