D'Anjou pear Growing and Maintenance Tips

Fertilize in spring with an all-purpose fertilizer before new growth begins. To prune a pear tree, start by removing dead, diseased, and broken branches. Then, thin out the canopy by removing downward-growing branches, crossing or rubbing branches, and vigorous upright shoots called "water sprouts". Always make cuts to the branch collar and avoid removing more than one-third of the tree’s canopy in a single pruning session to prevent shocking the tree. Prune to create a central leader
