Root pruning and transplanting to hasten pear fruiting
The American Agriculturalist notes that slow bearing pear trees such as Autumn Bergamot can be coaxed into fruiting sooner by root pruning in late autumn or early winter, removing tap roots and trimming side roots, or by frequent transplanting every two to three years. Moderate initial pruning plus vigorous manuring is advised, with Rivers of England cited as using the method to bring varieties into early bearing while warning against overuse.
