Maintain pear trees in small gardens in the tub
Even if you only own a small garden, you do not have to do without your own home-grown pears. The solution is ballerina or pillar bulbs. They are specially bred for the care in the bucket.
Which types of pears are suitable for bucket cultivation?
Nurseries and nurseries offer special breeding forms of various pear varieties as small-sized trees.
Usually this is a main trunk, on which only small side branches grow, the so-called ballerina form.
Small-growing bushes can also be pulled in the bucket.
What should be considered when maintaining in the bucket?
A pear tree in a pot or bucket needs more care than a tree in the field. Its roots can not spread further, so you have to make sure that the tree gets enough nutrients.
Also pear trees in the pot need another pear tree as a pollinator tree. Otherwise, the flowers are not pollinated and produce no fruits. So why not plant two pots of pear varieties that bloom at the same time? You can get advice about the past varieties from the nursery.
Bucket-pear trees need to be pruned more often so that the plant does not become too big for the pot. If necessary, you must transplant the pear tree into a larger vessel.
Tips for keeping the bucket
If you want to maintain one or more pear trees in the tub, look for a good location on the terrace. Pear trees prefer a lot of sun and little wind.
The plant pot must be cleaned very well before planting, especially if other plants have grown in it before. Germ-loaded residues can cause lasting damage to the pear tree.
Check pear trees in the bucket regularly for pests and diseases. When kept in a pot, fungi and lice quickly cause high levels of damage. They may result in the pear tree coming in.
Tips & Tricks
You can not expect huge harvests when you pull a pear tree in the tub. However, in a warm sunny spot and with a pollinator tree nearby, the potted tree may well carry some delicious pears.
