About pear trees

[foxlair]

Our three year pear tree had loads of pears on this year for the first time, but they have all fallen off, can anyone tell me why please

I've just read in a magazine that apple trees go through a "June Drop" where a lot of fruit drops off the tree and what is left has more room to grow. Perhaps the same thing happens to pear trees?

r u a bit short of rain? The soil is dry in the South as not much rain, plenty of wind & sun. If the soil dries fruit drops but flowers bloom.

Thank you I probably started to water a bit late to save them. It has been a bit dry of late and wondered if this was the problem. Will know for next year
