Pear tree

Question

Bought a home and the previous owners planted 4 fruit trees…one of which is a pear tree. But it looks like a stick with only two green leaves sprouting from 6″ from the ground. What should I do?

Answer 1

It sounds like they may have planted a bare root specimen or perhaps they started it from seed.

If you have the patience you certainly can take care of your tiny tree and watch it grow.

Keep in mind that eventually for your Pear Tree to bear fruit, they need another tree nearby as a pollinator.
