How to take care of a pear tree?
Water and fertilize and all the usual things and watch carefully for fire blight. When I lived in Texas it killed several ornamental %26amp; fruiting pears as well as apple trees. It's called fire blight because the leaves on a branch will turn kind of a rust or red color. It is bacterial, and spreads when it rains (drops of water land on the infected branch %26amp; drop onto branches below, spreading the disease). You will need an antibiotic spray (no kidding) to kill it. Remove infected branches %26amp; burn them.
Reply:I don't know but, keep a check on the base of the trunk for boring insects. They destroyed part of my peach tree over one summer, I walked around to the west side and they had made a big hole in the trunk of it. I mixed up some lemon Joy

dishwashing soap and boric acid in very hot water poured it on the brown worms, waited a couple of days and painted the trunk white to keep them from comming back.
