When planting young seedlings of this pear, it is necessary to leave a free space between the plants of 3.5-4 meters. A distance of 4-5 meters is also maintained between individual rows.

Young seedlings are planted in autumn or spring. At the same time, it is necessary to choose the south side for landing. The place must be protected from winds.

The seats are dug in advance, their depth reaches 70-80 centimeters. At the bottom of each dug hole, a fertile soil layer consisting of peat and compost is laid.

The rhizome of young seedlings is carefully laid out on top. It is evenly located along the bottom of the holes made.The roots will need to be lightly sprinkled with earth. The soil around is compacted a little. After that, the soil must be watered abundantly.

To get the maximum yield, nutritious fertilizers should be applied in a timely manner. In the spring, it is worth adding fertilizing with nitrogen. It will allow you to build up green mass. In summer, it is used to stimulate the formation of ovaries.

Deficiency of this important element will lead to too early fall of the leaf plates, their yellowing. But an excessive amount of nitrogen can negatively affect these fruit trees, burns may appear on them, and harmful nitrates will begin to accumulate in the fruits.

Urea with nitrogen is often used. It is a concentrated composition that is often used for prophylactic purposes.

And also pears will need phosphorus. Without it, nitrogen will be poorly absorbed. In addition, this element will be responsible for the normal growth and development of the root system of plants, flowering and fruiting.

Young pears need potassium. It will ensure proper development and growth. In mature trees, this element can increase immunity. It is better to add potassium in the autumn season, so that closer to spring the substance is completely decomposed in the ground.

Complex fertilizers will be an excellent option for pears. Most often, they simultaneously contain potassium, phosphorus, nitrogen. Popular options are formulations such as diammophos, nitrophoska.

Spraying the crown in the spring with complex fertilizers allows you to stimulate tree growth, strengthen immunity, and improve fruiting. Moreover, this procedure can be carried out for both young and adult plants.

Organic fertilizers also play an important role. The most commonly used manure and humus. Sometimes bird droppings are also used, but it can only be taken in the spring. This substance will stimulate the growth of vegetation.

Wood ash is also a valuable organic fertilizer. It allows you to reduce the level of soil acidity, replaces potash fertilizing. In addition, it contains a large amount of essential macronutrients and micronutrients.

It is worth remembering that the pear needs periodic pruning. It should be done in the spring. During this procedure, old and damaged diseased branches should be removed. In this case, all the places of the cuts will need to be treated with special disinfectants or just whitewashing.

We must not forget about regular watering. On average, one tree should take 30 liters of water. With the onset of hot dry weather, such procedures will need to be carried out only in the evening.
