You are probably over fertilizing it causing fruit drop... Pear trees you fertilize around february when it is still laying dormant from the winter... after buds and fruits appear or even just new foilage...do not fertilize..also you eed to fertilize when you do in weak mixtures the 1st year..then as the years go buy you increase the amounts..You are over fertilizing it I bet...too much miracle grow
Reply:The first year a tree is planted, it needs to spend some time developing a root mass.

They say that you should should dig a $100 hole for a $20 tree, so if you prepared the soil well and dug in a good bit of composted material like manure, you should see the tree produce more fruit next year.

Fruiting is something a plant/tree does in the normal cycle of life. When stressed it will try to fruit and fail.

Transplanting is a stress on the tree. It will take time to recover. How much time depends on how well you prepared the soil, whether you added a transplant-shock reducing fertilizer when you planted it, whether the tree is in the proper light conditions, and whether the soil is kept appropriately moist.

If you have made all conditions as near to perfect as possible, you can allow only two or three fruits to mature the second fruiting year.

There are special organic fertilizers for fruit trees, and you'll want to be sure to give it to them at least every spring and fall.



Be sure to check out and follow a pruning guide so your tree doesn't get too tall to pick on the third year.

Ohio State University has great information on caring for apple and pear trees:

In two years, you'll have fresh %26amp; baked pears. Enjoy!
Reply:I think that this is the natural growing cycle for fruits trees. My experience is that young fruit trees don't really start to bear fruit for up to two years after being planted. Just keep the soil well prepared and condtioned for the pear tree and some light pruning.
Reply:It didn't have the energy to make so much fruit.If it happens next year,pick off the flowers leaving only a few flowers to bear fruit,as the young plant can cope with a few blossoms

Reply:Don't let young trees fruit so they can put all their energy into growing.
