Plant Information
Top Tips
- Plant patio fruit trees in containers 45-50cm (18-20in) in diameter, holding at least 30 litres of good quality compost such as John Innes No.3. Alternatively plant them in any well-drained soil in a sheltered sunny position.
Care Guide
- Plant fruit trees at their original soil level, firm them into the ground and water well.
- Fruit trees grown in pots will need watering and feeding more regularly than those planted in the ground.
- To avoid the roots becoming pot bound, re-pot every year or alternate years after leaves have fallen in autumn.
- Once in its final pot, a plant can be root-pruned every other year with 30 per cent of the compost refreshed. In between, replace the top couple of inches of compost.
- A good mulch will help to retain water and therefore reduce the need to water as frequently, and will prevent weeds from competing
- Your pear tree will not need drastic pruning, just remove any crossing or damaged branches. Any lower branches can be removed if you want to give you a clear trunk. Otherwise in subsequent seasons cut back any strongly growing branches by one third to promote the formation of fruiting spurs.
