Pear trees grow best in sandy loam with deep soil layer, good water permeability and water retention. Western pears are planted in Yantai, Fushan and Mu Ping, while Hebei, Shanquan East and Liaoning are the concentrated pear producing areas in China.

Pear tree growth cycle

The growth and development of pear trees can be divided into three age periods, namely, young tree period, fruiting period and senescence period. The period from planting to flowering and fruiting of pear trees is young, and the fruiting period is divided into initial fruiting period, full fruiting period and late fruiting period. Senescence refers to the obvious decline of plant yield at the end of life.

Growth speed of pear trees

The period from grafting pear seedlings to flowering and fruiting is generally 2-5 years. Pear trees have characteristics in appearance. They need more water than other plants, and the soil moisture must be sufficient to see the light for a longer time.

Pear tree growth cycle management

Pear trees are properly managed, and the yield per mu is generally around 5,000-6,000 kg in the full fruit period, and the well-maintained pear trees can reach about 8,000 kg. Temperature management: pear trees should grow at 14-20 degrees. The average temperature in dormancy period should be 5- 17.2 degrees, and the temperature in flowering period should be stable above 10 degrees. Fertilization management: green manure, compost, manure, plant ash, wall soil, etc. Should be suitable for pear trees. Of course, chemical fertilizer, cake fertilizer, human excrement and human urine should also be applied when necessary.
