Comice pear tree

Question

My 6 yr old Comice pear tree has never born fruit. I bought it from a local nursery where others have had great success with this type of tree. It’s healthy, with little sprouts coming up from the trunk ( that I cut off). What can I do to get it to bear fruit?

Answer 1

It could be that the soil is not fertile enough. Make sure to fertilize this at least once per year in spring. You could also use a layer of compost each year instead. This will break down and provide the nutrients needed.
