Bosc Pear Tree (Bare Root)

Bosc pear trees thrive in full sunlight and well-draining soil, requiring cross-pollination with another pear variety for fruit production. Pruning, especially annual pruning to maintain an open vase shape, is crucial for optimal fruit yield. Harvesting occurs in the fall, with ripening indicated by a softening at the neck of the fruit. 
Detailed Growing Instructions:
Sunlight and Soil: Bosc pears need at least six hours of direct sunlight daily and well-draining soil. 
Planting: Plant one-year-old seedlings in mid-winter, spacing them 6-8 meters apart to ensure good air circulation. 
Pollination: Bosc pears are not self-pollinating and need another pear variety nearby for cross-pollination, such as Bartlett or Warren pears. 
Watering: Maintain consistent moisture, avoiding waterlogged conditions. 
Pruning: Annual pruning is essential to encourage a strong scaffold structure and open vase shape. 
Fertilizing: Apply well-rotted manure or compost in the spring around the root zone. 
Pest and Disease Control: Monitor for common pear tree pests and diseases and address them promptly. 
Harvesting: Bosc pears are typically harvested in the fall. Ripe fruit will soften slightly at the neck when pressed gentl
