Young trees of the Guidon pear cultivar are characterized by rapid growth. The rules for caring for them are almost the same as caring for mature trees. Water should be watered regularly and abundantly. About ten to fifteen buckets of water are spent on one tree at the age of five years. Nobody uses a spray bottle to care for a pear, it is better and safer to use a garden hose.
How often you decide to moisten the soil, see the weather forecast and start from it.
In the period from March to May, the tree is not watered; from June to August, watering is rare. If it is not raining, water only if pears are forming. The most important process of soil moistening becomes during the period from September to November. It promotes the formation of new fruits, and also protects the tree from cold weather.
Inspect the plant carefully, if you find areas with dull foliage (as well as in the presence of a small number of leaves) and fragile shoots, then purchase a fertilizer with nitrogen and apply it to the soil. Experienced gardeners and summer residents also recommend adding urea to the soil or pouring mullein tincture from March to May and from September to November. In the process of flowering, purchase and add mineral fertilizers to the soil.
We advise you to pay attention in the store to: wood ash, phosphorus-potassium complexes. Despite the high level of resistance to diseases and various parasites, it is worthwhile to carry out prevention.

Another plus is the increased illumination of the tree, which contributes to the long life of the pear.
To increase the speed and quantity of the crop, it is necessary to get rid of the shoots that grow inside the crown, have defects and are infected.
