supporting pear trees with heavy fruit
Conference Pear on the left and Beurre Hardy on the right are cross pollinators, resulting in heavy fruit crops on these young pear trees. Risk of breaking branches as a result of this heavy load can be reduced by placing temporary support stakes where appropriate. These fruit trees are growing in a mixed border of flowering and ornamental shrubs.
