While gardeners are quickly spoiled for choice when it comes to choosing plants for sunny garden beds, shady garden areas are a challenge that must be taken seriously. The extremely robust service pear can also demonstrate its advantages in the shade if it is not completely dark.
The pear also bears fruit in the shade
The pear can also cope with limitations
The service pear is no longer usually planted for its edible fruit, but rather for the wonderful autumn colors of the leaves in private gardens and parks. Although the service pear only reveals its full beauty in sunny to partially shaded locations, it can still grow in relatively pronounced shade. In particularly shady locations, however, a service pear will produce significantly fewer flowers than in a location in full sun. However, the incidence of light at the location of the pear also influences the following factors:
- time of flowering
- growth
- disease susceptibility
Pay particular attention to care in the shade
Rock pear trees are basically very undemanding when it comes to care. However, if you cultivate this plant in a very shady location, you should definitely make sure that the soil substrate is not permanently moist. In addition, the plant should be cut to the shrub or obelisk in a shady location so that a fungal attack such as mildew has as little chance as possible.
First grow young plants in the tub
If possible, a pear should not be planted too young in a very shady location. You can give your pear a little "jump start" if you let it grow in a bucket in a sunny spot for a few years. If the service pear is then planted at a certain size in its final location, it usually copes better with the sparsely penetrating sunlight.
tips
Even in the shade of buildings and tall trees, the service pear can usually be used well as a natural privacy screen with additional benefits for various animal species.
