Pear trees and Springtime in Ohio

| Moved from Florida two years ago to Cincinnati and love love love the spring time here and especially the beautiful white pear trees that bloom everywhere here in the beginning of April. This is my first post so I am excited to get a response to my burning question. Everywhere else the pears are blooming like crazy this year - no matter the size or the location - except the three fairly large ones that I have in my back yard. They barely put out any flowers at all and they didn't do much last year. During the rest of the year the foliage seems to be lush and fine. It seems to me they are getting a lot of sun throughout the day and I had a nursery person here to look at them. We could not find a bug or any reason they should be so lack luster. Any suggestions? |

| I wish I could help, but in my neighborhood & the area in general around Kansas City, all the ornamental pear trees seem to all bloom to various degrees. Why, I haven't figured out. I'm one of the "lucky" ones that has a tree with a small amount of blooms. As beautiful as they are in the spring, I never would have planted one had I known how weak the wood is. By the time they reach maturity and a storm hits, I've seen many that have split in half. My DH & I are now paranoid whenever a storm approaches. We make sure our car is parked far enough away from it just in case. |
