Can pear trees be transplanted in autumn?

Pear trees can be transplanted in autumn. The best time to transplant the plants is after the leaves fall in autumn. Transplanting can be completed within 7-10 days after the leaves fall. In addition, transplanting can also be done in March.

How to transplant pear trees in autumn

1. Before transplanting pear trees, it is best to choose trees with pure varieties and well-developed root systems. Do not choose trees with diseases and insect pests or hybrids, otherwise the survival rate of the plants will be reduced.

2. Before transplanting, heavily prune the pear tree, cut off about one-third of the branches, and then wrap the wound with plastic bags. This can prevent water loss and help improve the survival rate.

3. When transplanting, it is best to transplant the tree along with the soil ball in the direction of the tree, retaining more main roots and absorbing roots.

Things to note when transplanting pear trees

1. Pear trees have relatively high requirements for soil. When transplanting, it is best to choose fertile, loose, and water-retaining sandy loam for planting. The pH value should be between 5-7.5.

2. Pear trees have high requirements for water. The soil moisture content should be around 15-20%, which is most suitable for root growth. When just transplanting, you should control the water appropriately to prevent water accumulation in the soil.
