Growing & Maintenance Tips for Pyrus X Bosc

Plant it in full sun, ensuring at least 6-8 hours of direct light daily. This pear tree thrives in well-drained soil that can be clay, loam, or sand, with a pH range of acidic to neutral. It has high water needs, so regular watering is essential, especially during dry spells. Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and improve air circulation.
