    In my garden grows an old, but a productive pear. Last year, after a drought, the bark acquired a dark red color in some places, and then it began to dry up. What is this disease, and whether it is possible to cure a tree?

      Your pear is affected by cytoplasm, or stem decay. The causative agent of this disease is the fungus Cytospora leucostoma, whose spores can get through frostbites, sunburn, and branch fractures. To combat the disease, it is necessary to remove the affected areas of the cortex and to treat the wounds with an 5% solution of copper sulfate. As a preventive measure, it is necessary to remove dry, dying and broken branches (branches) in a timely manner. Fall in autumn and burn the fallen leaves, whitewash the trunks with lime.

    When there is no apparent reason for the lack of fruiting pears, it is worth tackling its cardinal pruning. Do this in late February or early March. The height of the tree with this nadosnizyzit up to 1,5-2 m.
    After this, every two weeks, do pinches shoots, not allowing them to grow rapidly. If you constantly shorten the branches to 3-4 kidneys (leaves), a couple of years will grow a lush tree, dotted with delicious and fragrant fruit.
    In addition, to approximate fruiting, feed the plant with ash and superphosphate, and limit nitrogen fertilizers.
