🌍 Choose the Right Location

• Sunlight: Full sun (at least 6–8 hours/day)

• Soil: Well-draining, loamy soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0

• Spacing: Plant 20–25 feet apart (for standard size); 12–15 feet for semi-dwarf

🌱 Planting Instructions

• Best Time to Plant:

  • Dormant season (late fall or early spring)

• Steps:

  1. Dig a hole twice as wide and as deep as the root ball.

  2. Place the tree so the graft union (swollen area near the base) is 2–3 inches above soil level.

  3. Backfill with native soil, gently firming it.

  4. Water deeply.

💧 Watering

• Young Trees: Water weekly, keeping the soil moist but not soggy.

• Established Trees: Water during dry spells, especially during fruiting.

🍽️ Fertilizing

• Use a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) in early spring.

• Avoid over-fertilizing—it can delay fruiting and encourage weak growth.

✂️  Pruning

• Prune in late winter while the tree is dormant.

• Shape the tree with an open center or modified central leader.

• Remove:

  • Dead/diseased wood

  • Crossing or crowded branches

  • Vertical suckers

🐛  Pest & Disease Management

• Watch for:

  • Fire blight

  • Pear psylla

  • Codling moth

• Use organic neem oil, dormant sprays, or other integrated pest management methods.

• Keep the area around the tree clean and weed-free.

⏳  Harvesting

• Fruits mature in late summer (August–September).

• Pick pears when they're firm but mature (not soft)—they ripen best off the tree.
