The pear tree does not particularly welcome neighbors, so it is advisable to plant it away from other fruit trees.

Loose soil that allows air and moisture to pass through well are important conditions for a pear tree. But bad neighborhood will negatively affect the tree.

What should not be planted next to a pear tree

Stone fruits do not get along well with pears.

If you have cherry, peach, apricot, plum or cherry plum growing on your plot, there should be at least 7 meters between them and the pear.

The worst neighbor would be a walnut. A pear will not get along with a nut, which produces substances that can suppress a pear. Such a neighborhood will lead to the pear stopping bearing fruit and may die.
