Question

We have three beautiful hundred year old pear trees on our property.
Our farm is almost two hundered years old.
My mother is called a tree company and is going to cut them down!!!! the pears fall all summer long and bring bees and they fall in her garden and we can't mow there there are so beautiful and I am so sad....I already tried talking to her...is there anything I can do?? even prevent the trees from having pears????

Answer 1

There are chemical thinners that can be applied that will cause the young fruits to drop shortly after they finish blooming. With apples we use Seven. I'm personally not that familiar with what they use to thin Pears though. If you give it a heavier than recommended dose, it can pretty much clean out the tree of all fruits. Here is a site about chemical thinning. http://www.agf.gov.bc.ca/treefrt/product/growth_reg.pdf

Answer 2

You just need to pick the pears up off the ground before the bees start getting to them, which could be quite a task. You might be able to spray the flowers white he trees are in bloom to prevent them from baring fruit. Ask a landscape designer at a greenhouse or someone that owns any kind of orchard what you might be able to do.

Answer 3

you can prune them before they bloom and then there will be no pears i know they make a mess but have you ever thought how many hungry kids that would love to have these let the trees fruit and get a lot of people together and pick them up donate the places that help feed families or take them to a place where old people live and hand them out put up fliers for give away there are a lot of hungry people in this world help feed some of them in your neighbor hood

Answer 4

you need to prune the fruit bearing buds off before or soon after they set fruit in the late spring.

Or set out some of these big blue pastic tarps to catch the falling pears before they make a mess. Take the pears and make pear preserves.

Answer 5

I am so sad for you. What is wrong with your mum?
