But how does one go on about growing peach trees? What are the key tips and considerations needed to make sure your new garden project works just as intended? Today we’ll be taking a look at how you can grow a pear tree of your own and get to enjoy the fruits of your labour, literally!
How to grow peach trees
In today’s article, we’ll be assuming you’ll buy fruit trees instead of trying to start right from the seed. Starting from a tree avoids many potential complications and is overall much easier, so keep that in mind with any fruit trees you want to grow.
The most important factors for any tree are light, size, soil and water, so let’s start by taking a look at what pear trees need in those four areas. Pear trees need full sun to grow properly and provide a full fruit load, so they are best suited for places with constant sun and mild seasonal changes. Their size is also something else to consider, a full-grown pear tree can be as tall as 6 meters, so you’ll need some considerable room for their roots. That said their size and need for sunlight also mean they provide excellent shade and can be a functional aspect of a garden design.
Pear trees are thankfully not too demanding with soil so as long as you properly composted the soil and fertilize once a year your pear tree should grow without issue. Watering them twice a week is ideal so it’s important to pay attention to their moisture but they aren’t as demanding as other species.
So now that you know the basics let’s go into the numbers okay? If you are going to plant a pear tree you’ll need the tree itself, The hole should at least be 30 cm on all three dimensions, and you’ll need to both compost it and water it extensively. Once the soil itself is ready you’ll just need to prune it and stake it to make sure it grows as you intend. If you follow those steps and the above recommendations your pear tree will grow spectacularly.
