The various varieties of the pear are true survivors who basically require almost no care and can even thrive in rather inhospitable locations on slopes. They are not necessarily dependent on special fertilization, but of course the possible growth or the size that can be achieved with these plants also correlates with the amount of available nutrients.

Fertilizer can provide more blooms

The pear can do completely without purchased fertilizers

Since the pear can also cope with poor site conditions, it does not depend on regular fertilization with certain fertilizers to the same extent as many other garden plants. This makes the pear a plant that is particularly valued by gardeners who work close to nature. After all, it is basically sufficient to loosen the soil before planting a service pear and then to pile up some leaves around the trunk of the service pear every year in autumn. Of course, all gardeners who want to keep their service pear in the garden as small as possible can do without fertilization completely.

Provide a growth spurt with little effort

Since the service pear only needs to be pruned to limit size or shape the treetop, it is an ideal shrub or tree for gardeners with a relatively short time. The situation is similar when it comes to fertilization: For the service pear, it is completely sufficient if you distribute some long-term complete fertilizer in the root area of the plant in spring. To encourage particularly strong growth, you can repeat the fertilization again towards the end of June.

Ensure nutrient replenishment with natural long-term fertilizers

Especially when cultivating the pear in a pot, it can be advisable to ensure a constant supply of nutrients with slow-dissolving and long-term effective fertilizers. For example, the following proven fertilizers of organic origin are suitable for this:

  • deposited compost
  • horn shavings
  • horn meal
  • dried poultry or horse manure

tips

It is advisable to kill two birds with one stone when planting a pear fruit and to supply heavy, dense soil with sufficient nutrients for at least a year by mixing in compost and also to ensure a loose soil structure.
