My pear tree .

I planted a pear tree about 4 years ago. the first year ,nice green leaves ,no flower. second year nice green leaves,very little flower.third year nice green leaves then it was infected by( I do not know what). the leaves started to drop off. i attempted to spray the tree with a bug killer but to no avail..I stripped the whole tree of leaves and burnt them. i used a spray of diluted washing up liquid and soaked the whole tree from top to bottom then used a spray of bug killer. This year the tree is Amazing :yess:. it has a mass of flowers in clusters of @ 15 flower buds in each cluster. I understand i require a second tree for pollination to fruit but i am just amazed at the amount of blossom on the tree.when i had the problem last year my neighbour said "Dig it out",i ignored his advice and persevered ,it has paid off, you never know i could get some pears this year .

 

Hi well done you
Patience does pay , if somone has a pear close by that should do the trick with polination, all trees take a while to settle in before they get going

Music, what variety of pear is it?

 

Hi Daitheplant, Sorry for the delay to your question,i have been away for a couple of days . if i remember correctly it is a Conference Pear Tree..

 

Conference is partly self fertile so you should get some decent fruit. Tomorrow, assuming it is in full fower, give it a good whack. this should help it .
