Why are fruits sour

A pear can be very sweet or become sour. Much depends on the soil. It must be nutritious. Although the pear is undemanding to soils, the fruits grow sour on poor ones.

Does a pear need pruning

Yes, it is mandatory. The pear needs to be pruned and shaped. The tree is prone to forming sharp corners between the branches. If they are skeletal, there is a high risk of breakage.

There are no fruits on the pear

This can happen if there are no pollinators. The pear is one of those trees that should grow in pairs. You need to plant two more different varieties on the plot to get the best result. Another reason is that the tree has experienced a very cold winter and the buds have been damaged by severe frost. Therefore, it will bloom poorly and the fruits will not set.
