I just today randomly came across this gentleman and his videos! I enjoy watching and learning with him. Not only is he thorough, I find his whole approach and even tone very relaxing. Living here in NYC most of my gardening is done vicariously and I am looking forward to viewing more of his gentle gardening videos. Thank you from a new fan! Mr. Gerry

Yup. Ten years, on the button. The pear trees are finally producing fruit.

I find him enthusiastic and calming at the same time.

Great video, nice to see the zone 3 hardy pears

Totally delightful, thank you!

I just bought my Ayer 🍐 pear tree! Thanks for the tips!

Fantastic video ! I just moved to the country and I am planting a variety of fruit trees. Those trees look like their overflowing with pears .

I'm definitely going to be planting these trees thanks for the video!

Fun watching your video! Want to plant these Pear Trees now 🍐🍐🍐 ❤

Great tips on planting. I learned the hard way about planting too deep. Had to go back and try and dig out the root flares on lots of my trees. Thanks for making these videos they are great!

Thank you! 🙏🏽

A great video! I just bought a pear tree and this gave me a lot of really good info on what to expect.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Great information!

Thank you for your video. ❤

Great video! ❤

Hey, that's my wheelbarrow. JK. We have pear trees. They have been very productive. Unfortunately, we have not taken advantage of thier fruit. We use to have muskrat that would carry the fruit across our yard to our pond /slough. Fun to watch them. I aporeciate your videos and sharing your knowledge and experience.

Two thumbs up 👍👍

Really great video, can’t believe you only have 2k subscribers!!! Amazing enthusiasm, great audio and very clean edits. Please continue making videos!!!

Great video, just planted a Paul pear tree a little larger fruit so we will see how it does in zone 3.

I have these 2 varieties growing in south central Alaska. The Golden Spice has vastly out performed the Ure. However for fresh eating the Ure is better. My golden spice tree is about 15 feet tall and produced more then 300 pears this year. While the Ure is only about 6 feet tall and produced 6 pears. Ure survives hear and grows slowly but is not as vigorous.

Atlanta Ga here! Just found out one of my backyard trees were pear trees. They don’t look like these though they have spots on them

Love your videos very informative👍 And I like your accent too 🤩

VERY GOOD INFORMATIVE VIDEO , VERY GOOD PEAR FOR CANADA , AND ,,,KRASULYA PEAR,,, TO.................THANKS.......

You sound canadian and do mention you are in the north. Your advice relative to planting a second tree for cross pollination is right on for your region. Areas with longer seasons, require that the two different varieties bloom at the same time. Being in north Florida with USDA hardiness zone between 8b and 9a means some pears can bloom as early the beginning of January to March for other varieties. Many say that the common kieffer is self-fertile. I do not know if that is true, all say it is best to plant two pollen compatible varieties near each other. Some pears are better cross pollinators than others and so one should research the varieties that you wish to plant. My biggest threat for a young pear is fireblight and I plant FB resistant pears.

You stick your hands in mulch like that without gloves in the Southwest and you will likely get scorpion stung. Once wasn't enough to make it sink in to me, but twice was. I never garden or plant without leather gloves.

I wonder if you can plant them in Nova Scotia?

I use straw for mulch, it decompose's in a year.

Ah I need that shovel! Haha

Very nice video Really enjoyed I have Asian golden pear tree at recently purchased house Many small pears I can see in this spring2023 Do I need to add any fertilizer? If yes when ? And which ? Thanks again

The only way to know if you need to fertilize is to run a soil test. You will unlikely cause any problems without the test, but you may be wasting your money if your soil has adequate nutrients. I like spring through early summer for fertilizing trees, but I avoid fertilizing if my soil is very dry. My favorite fertilizers are Espoma's Biotone and Osmocote Plus.

My hood pear is nice . The pears are hard as a rock though

Sir, Nice. How many chill hours for these pears please? Thanks and regards from India. 👌👍❤️🙏🙏

I’m afraid I’m not sure what you mean by “chill hours”. Are you referring to the dehydrating? If so, I dehydrated with heat (not freeze dried) 135 F. for about 8 hours. If it was another question please elaborate. Greetings from the states. 😊

@@gardenhike Sir, I am referring to number of cold hours below 45 F during winter these pears would need before resuming growth in spring which in India are the months of Feb. to early March in subtropical climates which may be different in apples growing temperate and mountainous regions. Thanks and regards please. 👌❤️🙏🙏

Can you tell I have always lived in a cold climate? 😊 I’ve never had to worry about not having enough chill hours. I wish I could give you an answer. I did some reading (very interesting), but there are so many variables it would seem there is no exact time period. Four to six weeks seemed to be the “average” recommended as a broad guide for many fruit trees.

How do you protect your pear trees from Fire Blight?

@gardenhike

Жыл бұрын

Avoid pruning when plants are actively growing is your best defense. Prune out and dispose of any infected branches. I usually wait until the plant is dormant to do this. Practice good tool sanitation. Cotoneaster, Apple, and Mountain-Ash species also commonly get fireblight in our area. It’s important to remove diseased tissue where ever it shows up.

Now is 12th of April my pear tree is still in dormant period what I do pear should get new leaves

@gardenhike

Since I don’t know your full situation, I can only speculate you may be having a late spring with very persistent cold temperatures; that is the case in my area. My pear trees are also still dormant but I expect they will leaf-out when temperatures increase.

Not all pear trees need cross-pollination.

True however, the yield will be significantly higher with cross pollination.

the nice thing about bare root plants is that they don't suffer from massive transplant shock and die... this is basically a guide on how NOT to plant a tree in my area lol.

It is not true that "pears don't grow bigger in northern climates". You should thin them. You will be surprised at what you will find

@Simplexaero

Yep, just need to prune the trees more and thin the crop a bit. The pears that remains will get full size.
