Q.Seckel Pears Dropping Early

Zone 46777 | pkmfounatin added on July 27, 2022 | Answered

I have 3 Seckel pear trees and this is the first year out of 10 that they actually have fruit on them. The trees aren’t overloaded with pears but I noticed today about 30 of them have already fallen off and they aren’t supposed to be ripe for another month. So is anything wrong? They seem healthy otherwise.

If you, only, have Seckel Pears around, then this will be why. They will require a pollinator of a different type of pear to bear fruit.
