Pear tree

I had the same problem last year with my conference pear tree.It is on my allotment in Carrickfergus N.I.so its pretty much open to the elements.This year i have concentrated more on feeding it from the end of February to try and make the tree generally stronger.Ive feed it with bone meal and at the beginning of March gave a it a mulch of horse manure which i forked in .Results so far a healthier and stronger looking tree and plenty of flowers. So i would agree with Alina W about feeding .Good Luck.
