Every plant and tree is fighting for its place under the sun. Competition increases every year, because new plants are planted on the plot. If you do not want the pear to get stressed and stop bearing fruit, you need to follow the principles of good neighborliness.
Details
There is a certain list of plants that should not be planted near pear trees. Read it again and take note when planning planting areas:
- cherry;
- cherries;
- Walnut;
- oak;
- maple;
- juniper.
Cherries increase the potential risk of infecting pears with moniliosis or bacterial burn. Cherries also have a number of diseases that they can share.
Walnuts release certain chemicals that can slightly inhibit the growth of other plants. This doesn't always happen, but it is a risk.
You will rarely find oak in your garden. If you have such an idea, then you should plant it away from the pear. And there is also juniper. It can be a source of rust and fungal infections.
