Asian Pear 20th Century Tree

Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and plant the tree at the same depth it was growing in its container. Backfill gently, firm the soil, and water thoroughly. Keep the soil evenly moist during the first growing season to help establish strong roots. Mulch around the base to conserve moisture, keeping mulch away from the trunk.
