The rock pear - suitable for the shade?
While gardeners will soon be spoiled for choice when it comes to plant selection for sunny garden beds, shady garden areas are a serious challenge. The extremely robust rock pear can also play its benefits in the shade when it is not completely dark.
The rock pear also copes with restrictions
The pear pear is nowadays usually no longer planted because of its edible fruits, but rather because of the wonderful autumn color of the leaves in private gardens and parks. Although the pear pear shows its full beauty only in sunny to partially shaded locations, it can still grow in relatively pronounced shade. However, in especially shaded areas, it may happen that a cliff pear targets significantly fewer flowers than a location in full sun. The incidence of light at the location of the rock pear also influences the following factors:
Pay special attention to the care in the shade
Rock pears are generally very modest in terms of care. However, if you cultivate this plant in a very shady location, then you should always pay attention to a not permanently moist soil substrate. In addition, the plant should be cut in a shady location so the shrub or obelisks that a fungal infection such as mildew has as possible no chance.
First, grow young plants in the tub
A rock pear should not be planted too young in a very shady location if possible. You can give your rock pear a little "jump start" if you first let it grow for a few years in a sunny spot in the tub. If the rock pear is then planted with a certain size at the final location, it usually gets along better with the sparse, penetrating sunlight.
Tips
Even in the shade of buildings and tall trees, the rock pear can usually be used well as a natural privacy screen with additional benefits for various species of animals.
