Otherwise, there is a high probability of flooding the plant or provoking its freezing.

The best tree will grow in loose soil. Therefore, the aeration properties of heavy clay soil improve by mixing it with one bucket of coarse sand and one glass of lime-lint to achieve the effect of lightness and airiness.

Also, before planting, it is necessary to make the soil more fertile by digging it with mineral fertilizers, peat, overgrown manure or wood ash. This procedure is necessary to ensure that the young tree is better sucked and does not hurt because of a lack of useful substances.

It is best to water the tree with a special hatch nozzle on the hose, which can create the effect of rain, evenly distributing water throughout the earth around the trunk. If this is not possible, then it is advisable to dig a small canal, approximately 15 centimeters wide, close to the root system, and pour water directly into it. During the drought, the frequency of irrigation should be increased. The norm is 3 buckets of water per square meter of land.

Fertilizer

The amount of material contributed directly depends on the state of the tree and its growth. In a young plant, shoots should add about 40 centimeters per year, and in an adult plant, 20 centimeters. If these figures are lowered, then it is necessary to help the tree grow and develop, further enriching the soil. Fertilize pears in spring and autumn, starting from the second year of life.
