Are you saying there is only 1 leaf on your pear tree. If that is the case there is something wrong. A healthy tree should have flowered a few weeks ago and now have small pears and be in full leaf. Sometimes when you buy a very young tree it may not flower at all. I bought a Victoria plum and put it in last October. It had just a few flowers that I removed now it has made lots of growth and is in full leaf. I have watered it a few times because it will not have had enough time to get it's roots developed to be self sustainable. A patio 'pot' tree will need a regular watering on this very dry spell and probably through most of the summer.

 

plenty of leaves on it, just 1 new leaf so far, looks healthy enough, up north we have had a lot of winds could this have slowed down its growth, the weather is much warmer now i am hoping it will do better

 

Yes keep a eye on it and give it a feed occaisonally. Next year it will very likley be stronger and more vigorous. It has been very cold here until the last 3 weeks or so and some of my plants are off to a slow start, but are catching up now the warmer weather is finally here.

 

help, my patio pear tree does not look very happy the leaves are looking withered and some are falling off, i think it is on its way out
and i dont know what to do with it, any suggestions

My patio pear tree died off then it started growing again and it has died again what do you think is causing this and do you think it is worth holding onto it to see if it comes back. :confused:

 

I don't know Rosa, I bought a set of 3 patio fruit trees, 2 apples and a pear, and only one apple is surviving. Have you checked all the usual things like too wet or too dry, roots being attacked, feeding, is it in a big enough pot, does it's graft look healthy etc.
Before you give up, check to see if the stem is green underneath the bark, if it is there's hope!
I don't know what happened to mine, they just didn't thrive.
Just noticed it's your birthday- have a great day!

 

hi liz, will check the stem tommorow never thought of doing that to see if it is alive if not that will be going in the bin, will replace it next year with something else.
thanks for wishes for my birthday nothing planned as we will be going out thursday celebrating late on here tonight as i went to jazzs downloading her pics for her and to show her, she has written it all down and is going to try for herself.

 

It's like a lot of things, the first time you do it it's hard. How are you getting on with your camera, I am ueless at photos, very few not blurred, but digital is much easier as you can just chuck them and do more. I gave up with ordinary cameras, too expensive to get loads of children with chopped off heads and blurry landscapes!

 

Have not got the digi yet, borrowed jazz,s to take the car, looking forward to getting it will be much easier and cheaper in the long run, than the ordinary one as you stated, chopped of heads and red eyes

 

just noticed liz we are the only ones on here everyone has gone

 

liz logging of now bid you good morning away to have a few hours sleep. speak later
