Learn About Your New Pyrus ussuriensis
Pyrus ussuriensis – Manchurian Pear is a medium to large deciduous tree best known for its early spring flowering, dense, symmetrical crown, and fiery autumn display. Maturing to 9–12 metres tall and 6–8 metres wide, it is a strong performer in urban, residential, and rural landscapes, bringing elegance and shade to both formal and natural designs.
In early spring, the tree erupts in masses of pure white flowers, followed by broad, glossy green leaves that provide dense summer coverage. As temperatures cool, the foliage turns stunning shades of orange, red, and burgundy, making it one of the most eye-catching trees of the season.
Pyrus ussuriensis is extremely cold hardy, drought-tolerant once established, and adaptable to loam, clay, or sandy soils—making it a highly flexible and low-maintenance choice. It holds a strong central leader and grows with a naturally uniform shape, often requiring minimal formative pruning.

Watering Requirements After Planting Your Pyrus ussuriensis
When planting a new tree or shrub, proper watering is essential to ensure healthy establishment and long-term growth. Follow these guidelines to give your plant the best start:
- Immediately After Planting:
Water generously right after planting to settle the soil around the roots and eliminate air pockets. This helps the roots make good contact with the soil. - First Three Months (Establishment Phase):
The initial three months are critical for root development. Water deeply twice daily (morning and evening) to encourage strong, deep root growth. - Irrigation Systems:
If using an irrigation system, adjust it to provide adequate water during the establishment phase. Ensure the water reaches the root zone without overwatering. - Weather Considerations:
Adjust watering based on weather conditions. Increase frequency during hot, dry periods and reduce it during cooler, wetter seasons. - Ongoing Care:
After the establishment phase, gradually reduce watering frequency but ensure the plant receives consistent moisture, especially during dry spells.
By providing consistent and appropriate watering during the initial months, you’ll help your new tree or shrub establish a strong root system and thrive in your garden.
