Pear fruit - what distance to the neighbor?
Tight, upright, open-pear fruit is especially favored by gardeners who only have a very limited area available. This makes the aspect of the minimum distances to neighboring property to be respected a central issue of variety and site selection.
Regulations on minimum intervals vary in all German federal states
The question of the minimum distance to be maintained for a neighboring plot when planting certain fruit trees is regulated very differently not only in each country, but even in the German Länder. Thus, the regulations are very different depending on the type of plant and state and differ functionally between different "plant genera":
As a rule, the minimum distances to be observed are graduated according to the height of the column fruit or other plants to be planted. Since the prescribed distances can often be 2 m or more, design challenges in narrow terraced gardens are commonplace if it is not possible to reach an amicable settlement with the neighbors.
Attention: observe limitation periods
Many hobby gardeners underestimate the vigor of perennial fruit, which is planted in the garden and fertilized regularly. If you yourself are threatened by the possible shadow of the pillared fruit planted by the neighbor close to a property boundary, an early reaction to it is appropriate: In many federal states, a limitation period of five years applies when exceeding or falling short of the given dimensions. Once this has expired, legally no more can be done against illegal planting.
Tips
With the anyway necessary, regular cut of column fruit should quarrels among neighbors usually be avoided. In an emergency, however, overcrops that have become too large may perhaps also contribute to de-escalation, according to which both neighbors benefit from the usually fairly high yields of the pillar fruit.
