Add to ORKGPears grow best on well-drained soils with good air drainage. This helps to avoid frost and blight. Selection of resistant varieties such as Bartlett Bosc (90 % of trees in NY) are most popular. Row spacing in orchards is typically 20 feet between rows and 22 feet between trees. Older orchards are typically 22 feet between trees and 12 to 15 feet between rows. Pruning is done every other year. One to two different varieties are often planted to ensure pollination. A weed-free zone is maintained under trees by spraying herbicide, while vegetative strips are maintained between rows
