To multiply a pear tree by cuttings or finishing
Basically, the pear tree can be multiplied like any fruit tree. The extraction of new pear trees by Abmoosen, from cuttings or by processing is not very easy and more suitable for experienced gardeners.
Possibilities for the propagation of a pear tree:
Theoretically, pears can also be used to grow pear trees. However, this takes a very long time and unmistakable trees can not be won.
Abmoosen
The mower understands the extraction of a new plant directly on the tree without contact with the earth.
In the spring, a healthy, as straight as possible shoot of the pear tree is selected. He is cut several inches deep at an angle. In the cut a wedge is pushed, which keeps the wound open.
The site is wrapped with moss or pulp and kept well wet. After rooting, the shoot is separated and planted at the intended location.
Cut the plywood
From the pear tree, a slightly woody shoot is cut diagonally in spring. The lower leaves and flower buds are removed. The plywood is inserted with the sloping side down in not too loose garden soil.
In order for the wood to get enough moisture for rooting, it is recommended to attach a plastic foil or a glass over the cutting edge.
After rooting the plywood is carefully excavated, first pulled in the pot and later planted at the desired location.
ennoble
Refining is the most commonly used method of reproduction, which is best done in March or April. For a one-year-old shoot, at least ten centimeters long, cut off at an angle.
As a base for the refining of pear trees Quince trees are often used. Here, a paser wedge is cut into the shoot, which serves as a carrier. The sweet rice is pinched and wrapped in raffia.
To refine a pear tree, it takes some skill. By refining, it is possible to obtain single-variety trees which, given a good substrate, can be more resistant to pests and diseases.
Tips & Tricks
It is usually only worthwhile growing a pear tree if you want to obtain a specific type of pear. Expect that not every attempt at propagation will lead to success.
