How to Use Korean Giant Asian Pear Tree In The Landscape

Growing into an average size tree that produces fruit that ripens later in the season. Instead of that flowering pear, choose a fruiting variety with all the same ornamental qualities!

Flowering trees always look lovely as front yard specimen plants and focal points! Line your driveway or side yard with a row of Korean Giants for a fascinating spectacle, or with other fruiting trees for dual-purpose landscaping!

Add to your existing gardens and orchards, or create hedgerows of fruit trees for privacy and property definition that also fills your fruit bowls with unique delights!

#ProPlantTips For Care

When it is time to plant, your Korean Giant Asian Pear prefers full sun, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal growth and health. It resists fire blight, which will mean there is less spraying as well.

Plant it in rich, well-drained soil, but if your soil is lacking, it will still do well, but avoid soil with a lot of clay. If needed, you can spade in compost, manure, leaves and grass clippings to enrich your soil.

Provide ample water for your young tree while it becomes established, not allowing it to dry out between waterings. Water weekly to ensure a healthy crop and provide supplemental watering during times of drought and in the heat of summer. A generous layer of mulch helps retain soil moisture as well as insulate the root system from heat and chill.

Situate in an area that is protected from frost pockets and with good air circulation. Prune to keep an open canopy so that both sunlight and airflow reach the interior. Head over to our Garden Blog for more Fruit Tree Planting, Fruit Tree Pruning and Fruit Tree Care tips and tricks can be found!
