 Why the pear does not bloom and does not bear fruit: the main reasons for what actions to take

Why does the pear not bloom and not bear fruit? There are various reasons why a pear does not give fruit. Consider them in order.

In botany, a pear defined as a dicotyledonous class, a flowering department, a family of pink, a genus of pear (lat. Pyrus). The height of the trunk is up to 20-25 m, the diameter of the crown is up to 5 m.There are about five thousand varieties of pears.. Individual trees can live up to two hundred years. The average yield of fruit picking is about five tons per hectare, the maximum yield per tree is up to one ton.There are 33 types of pears.. For the safety and time of harvesting, the types of pears are subdivided into summer, autumn and winter.

The main reasons why it does not bloom and does not bear fruit

Pear pretty unpretentious plant and does not require any special conditions for their growth.

But, of course, good soil, sufficient illumination and loosening of the soil favorably affect it. So adverse conditions may affect its flowering and fruiting.

It is known that almost all varieties of pears are self-productive. I.e pears need cross-pollination, since their own pollen does not form ovaries. Therefore, it is necessary to have several varieties of pears in the garden.

It is important to take into account that their maturation dates coincide. The same problem can be solved by grafting on a pear of one variety of a branch of another variety.

Frost - the second reasonaffecting flowering and fruiting pears. It is necessary to foresee the effect of cold on various parts of the plant:

  • In early spring, flowers, buds and ovaries do not tolerate frost, so when choosing saplings it is not advisable to purchase southern varieties (unless, of course, you live in the middle or northern strip). Thermophilous varieties in these conditions require additional care to protect them, for example, with plastic films;
  • at the beginning of winter snow, as a natural heater, is still not enough. And the temperature has already dropped enough to freeze the roots of the plant and destroy or weaken it. In these cases, you need to take care of the insulation of the roots, covering them around the perimeter with any insulation (leaves, branches, needles);
  • bark can also burst from the frost in winter in a tree. In this case, it will help smearing damage to clay, garden pitch, followed by wrapping a cloth;
  • the cold north wind is also unfavorable for pears. Therefore, when planting, you should take this into account and find a sufficiently protected place for the seedling (for example, a fence, a wall, etc.).

It should be borne in mind that low light may also adversely affect the yield of pears. Therefore, protecting the tree from the wind, you need to take care of its sufficient illumination.

The reason for the poor fruiting can also be the inept planting of a tree. The root neck of the pear after planting should be approximately at the level of the soil surface.

Otherwise, if the neck is high above the ground, then the tree should be spud. And if, on the contrary, it is low, then the excess land must be otgresti and discarded.

Pear does not like transplant. This is especially true for large seedlings. If possible, this should be avoided. And if this is still not possible, then you need to additionally take care of the young sapling, just watering it.

But sometimes even under favorable conditions, the pear may not give fruit. The reason for this may be simple - pear variety.

 Some pear varieties begin to bear fruit after planting in the 10th year and even later.
Some pear varieties begin to bear fruit after planting in the 10th year and even later.

There are varieties of pears that bloom for the first time and begin to bear fruit only on the 10th or even the 15th year of life. There is nothing you can do, except to make him vaccinated with another variety.

Another misfortune for pears is pests, for example, the brawl. In early spring, it can damage the kidneys, even without letting them bloom.

Pears have other enemies, for example, apple flower beetle, moth.In addition, these pests are able to carry fungi onto the tree, which subsequently form a dark bloom on the leaves.

Therefore, pear trees should be sprayed with appropriate preparations, both before flowering and during it (for example, chlorophos or karbofos).

Nutrient-rich soilIt can also cause the absence of fruiting. Lack of nitrogen can replenish manure. It is also desirable to purchase and enrich the soil with phosphate-potassium fertilizers.

As with the protection of the tree from the wind, and here you also need not to overdo it. If the soil is oversaturated with manure and fertilizers, this can lead not to the growth of fruits, but to an increased growth of branches and leaves.

Such an increase creates a strong thickening of the crown of pear. This unproductive waste of force of a tree adversely affects the harvest. The fruits of this become smaller and their number decreases. therefore tree crown requires regular pruning.

 The pear needs to be correctly matched and regularly cut

It should be mainly remove young shoots growing inside the crown. And the branches growing up at a large angle should be bent down and fixed horizontally.

But here, too, a reasonable and commensurate approach is needed. Too hard pruning can even deplete a weak tree. Therefore, while the seedlings have not yet begun to bear fruit, pruning should try to make the minimum.

Pear does not like increased acidity of the soil, as well as its waterlogging. Therefore, when watering need to take this into account.

This may also lead too high groundwaterin which the roots of the tree begin to rot. This trouble should be avoided even when planting a seedling on the site.

For what year after planting the tree begins to bear fruit: varietal features

The pear does not have a certain age of onset of fruiting This age in different varieties of pears varies greatly - from 10-15 years, to ultra-fast varieties of one year.

Below we give the age of the onset of fruiting of some popular pear varieties in alphabetical order:

  • Annushka - for 1-2 years after landing;
  • Bergamot - for 7-8 years;
  • Bere Bosk - for 6-7 year;

  • Chizhovskaya - 3-4 year.

How old is the average fruit?

It is impossible to answer this question unequivocally. Varieties of pears on this indicator are very diverse. This period can last 10 and 50 years. After the attenuation of fruiting, the tree dies very quickly.

Statistically the maximum age for fruiting pear trees is 60–70 years. But statistics, of course, contains exceptions. There are cases when pears reached the age of one hundred and even 150 years.

Now you can still meet with us 100 Year Grade Lemon Pear. Its longevity, compared to other varieties, also differs Common pear. Its life span is up to 120 years, and under favorable conditions it bears fruit up to two hundred years.

Will a pear bear fruit if it is alone?

This question has already been partially answered above. But let's say a few more words about it.

Pear mainly cross-pollinated plants. Therefore, self-pollination does not lead to the formation of the ovary. And so the probability of the birth of fruit in one pear in the garden is small.

Well in this case, if pears grow from neighbors in the area. But you can solve this problem yourselfby planting together (at a distance of 3-4 meters) several different varieties of pears.

And if the lack of space does not allow it, then 1-2 branches of another variety can be grafted onto one pear variety.

However, there are pear varieties capable of self-pollination. This phenomenon is quite rare, and therefore very valuable. Therefore, here are some of them.

These include: Banquet, Bere winter Michurin, In memory of Yakovlev, Chizhovskaya, Jubilee Korneev.

How to make fruit, what to do

Above, in the section on the analysis of the causes of pears infertility, this issue has already been largely covered. Now it remains to add that constant fruit bearing pears will contribute The following recommendations:

  1. For access to the root system of a larger amount of oxygen, periodically loosen the soil under the tree. The pear loves it and will respond with an increase in fruitfulness.
  2. In a dry summer, additional watering of pears will not hurt, even though it is a drought-resistant plant.
  3. It is also necessary to feed manure, compost and mineral fertilizers. It is convenient to combine this with loosening digging. For a tree, five kilograms of manure are enough once every 2 years, and superphosphate 50 grams.
 For the pear to bloom and bear fruit, it needs watering, loosening and fertilizing the soil.

The remaining measures to increase the fruiting (frost protection, hilling and digging up, fight against pear pests, reasonable pruning of crown thickening, grafting of productive varieties) have already been considered above.

Pear - a valuable and beloved by many fruit treebringing aromatic and amazingly delicate flavor fruits.

Jams, jams, compotes, jam and just dried pears make it possible to recall the past summer and thankfully appreciate this unpretentious tree.

It takes only a little extra care for him, and it will gratefully respond to your care with a bountiful harvest.
