Best Answer

A balanced, slow-release fertilizer is what is best for Bartlett pear trees (Pyrus communis).

Specifically, Bartlett pear trees cannot tolerate heavy applications of nitrogen fertilizer because of a coupling of lush growth with fire blight. They favor balanced, slow-release 13 (nitrogen) -13 (phosphorus) -13 (potassium) fertilizers. They handle slightly acidic soils. So ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) is their only fertilizer of choice if they are located in alkaline soils, particularly with soil pHs around 7.5 on the 1-14 scale.

Otherwise, Bartlett pear trees may need no fertilizer applications if they grow in grass, ground cover, lawn or turf that is on its own regular fertilizer schedule.

Leaf litter is the best fertilizer for Peppercorn trees (Schinus molle).Specifically, peppercorn trees are not needy for fertilizer. They favor a layer of their own leaves. The leaf litter serves as a natural, organic fertilizer that slowly but directly and steadily releases nutrients back into the soil and therefore into the tree's roots.
