QuestionSir I have two pear trees of unknown variety.They have not bloomed for two years.This spring one bloomed but not the other.What if anything can I do?
AnswerFruit trees must be pruned every fall to stimulate blossoms the next spring. I cut back my branches by 1/3. This sounds drastic, but it is actually very good for the tree. I also fertilize my trees every spring with a product high in phosphorus. Phosphorus is the nutrient required for all fruit-bearing vegetables and trees. It helps stimulate additional blossoms and larger fruit.
I hope this answered your question. Please write again if I can ever provide assistance.
Regards,
Mike
