Why is the pear empty: 5 reasons for the absence of fruits
Not every pear tree on the plot produces fruit as gardeners expect.
The reasons for this may lie in various factors.
It is necessary to understand why the tree is empty despite the fact that you have taken care of it.
Why is there no fruit on the pear tree?
One of the main problems you might not have considered when planting a tree is that it is lonely. And this is not a joke: many pears are self-sterile, so they need pollinating varieties to form ovaries.
The second reason for the lack of fruit is the young age of the plant. Keep in mind that on low-growing rootstocks, the pear tree begins to bear fruit no earlier than after 3 years. And on vigorous fruits, you will have to wait 5-10 years.
Flowers and ovaries could also have died due to frosts returning in the spring or as a result of drought.
And think: did you choose the right place to plant the tree? The pear does not tolerate shading and high groundwater levels.
It is also necessary to take into account that many varieties of pears are not winter-hardy, and therefore do not survive winter conditions in the middle zone well.
