The pear is not the most unpretentious tree in the garden and requires experience in planting, feeding and general care.

The most important thing in this case is proper planting and correctly selected neighbors, without which or due to whose fault the tree’s yield may change.

Let's figure out which fruit crops are best to plant next to a pear tree.

The easiest option is to plant a pear tree next to a pear tree. Experienced gardeners specially select different varieties, and some are cunning and try to plant a tree closer to a neighboring one, growing even behind a fence, but within 5 meters.

This technique improves the pollination process and, therefore, fruiting.

If this is not possible, good pollination can be ensured if the pear tree grows next to an apple tree.

Both cultures coexist perfectly, there is no competition for nutrients, and tree care is generally similar.

From stone fruit crops, you can plant cherry or plum next to the pear. You should not choose dwarf varieties, which may feel uncomfortable in the shade of a tall tree.

From berry bushes, it is allowed to plant currant bushes. Mainly black currants are planted.
