My 3 year old double grafted nashi pear flowered and fruited the first year. I gave it a light pruning and it hasn't had a flower for the last two years. I can see the fruiting spurs but it won't flower.
Does anyone know why?
Why hasn't my nashi pear flowered?
You possibly over pruned it..the paragraph below is copied from the link below it..this will tell you all about these specific pear trees..
Normally, Asian pears are trained vase-shape in California. This is generally accomplished by heading nursery trees about 25 to 30 inches high at time of planting and selecting 3 or 4 main limbs the first year and heading these new limbs about 50% leaving 12 to 24 inches of growth depending on the length of the growth the first year. This will give 6 to fairly low secondary limbs that are headed 30 to 36 inches long in the second dormant season. After fruit production starts (the third season), limbs are allowed to elongate about 18 inches per year and then they are headed to the dormant season. If trees are growing excessively then pruning should be reduced to encourage fruit spur development.
