Abstract
The influences of N concentration in the irrigation water and container size on growth of ‘Bradford’ pear were studied. Container size influenced growth more than N rates. Trees grown for 2 years in 38 and 57 liter (#10 and #15) containers were greater in height and caliper than trees grown in 19 liter (#5) containers. Trees fertilized with 300 ppm N weekly had similar height but greater caliper compared to plants fertilized with 150 ppm N weekly. N rates above 300 ppm N were not beneficial. Production costs and profitability are discussed.
