In spring this year I palnted the pear tree "Beth" it was grafted on to dwarf rooting stock.

This week (24th August 2012) it is flowering.
Do I pick off the flowers or just leave them and hope they drop off naturally.

Hi and welcome .
I would leave the flowers they will probably fall off without coming to fruit.

Thanks

Pear tree need some more warmth and sun light that apples to fruit well. I have to say that pear beth covered with pure white flowers in mid-spring, followed by delightful, minor sweet pears. This high producing variety generates fruits with an excellent taste earlier than many other types in late summer.
