Supplied as an established tree, 150cm (5ft) tall grown on an M9 dwarfing rootstock in a 24cm pot, growing to a height & spread of 2.5m (8ft). Care Plant fruit trees at their original soil level, firm them into the ground & water well. Fruit trees grown in pots will need watering & feeding more regularly than those planted in the ground. To avoid the roots becoming pot-bound, repot 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 & therefore reduce the need to water as frequently & 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?achieve a clear trunk. Otherwise, in subsequent seasons cut back any strongly growing branches by one third to promote the formation of fruiting spurs. Contents 1 x Tree ...
