The pear tree is mainly grown in areas with hot, dry summers and cold winters, as long as its exposure to frost is avoided, especially during the spring flowering period. In addition, the many rainfalls, especially during the spring and summer period, do not favor it, at the same time that it is particularly resistant to high summer temperatures (30 – 35oC).
For its planting, the most suitable choice is fertile soils of medium texture, with a neutral pH of ~ 7.5, good aeration and drainage alike, while dry calcareous soils should be avoided.
