Pear Hawthorn prefers consistently moist soil, especially when young. Water deeply when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering frequency in cooler months, but avoid letting the soil completely dry out.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions.

Prune Pear Hawthorn in late winter or early spring while the plant is dormant. Remove dead, diseased, or crossing branches.

Pruning can also be used to shape the tree and improve air circulation within the canopy, which helps prevent fungal diseases.

Propagation is typically done through grafting onto rootstock, a method best suited for experienced horticulturists. Seed propagation is possible but can be slow and may not result in true-to-type offspring.

Softwood cuttings can also be attempted in early summer.

Repotting is rarely necessary for established Pear Hawthorn trees as they are generally planted in their permanent location. If a container-grown specimen needs repotting, do so in early spring before new growth begins.

Use a well-draining soil mix.
