Growing Tips for Pyrus pyrifolia ''Reddy Robin''

Asian pear cultivars are partially self-fruitful but better crops are set where two or more cultivars are planted together. European pears or Asian pears, such as Seckel, Bosc or Bartlett, can be used for pollination. Thrives in full sun. Feed yearly with an organic fertilizer. Prune in winter for damage and to promote good airflow for fruit.
