My non-bearing fruit aristocrat pear tree isn’t blossoming like it should.

Question

This tree is about 10 years old. It used to completely blossom and was beautiful but for the past couple of years it just blossoms sporadically. A few blossoms here and there. What can I do to get all the blossoms back?

Answer 1

Ornamental pears need sun, water and nutrition to bloom well. A soil sample is probably in order. Fire blight disease is a common problem in these trees. Prune out infected branches. Here's two articles that should help:
