Is fruit setting on my pear tree? Can I use fertiliser now?

It's the leaves that take it in Husk. So make sure they are the main target.
Never spray in full sunshine.
Best at dusk or early morning. Avoids any scorch risk and also takes longer to dry so more is absorbed .

Hi Jona?

Is it safe to use fertiliser now? Pears are bigger

I sprayed this few days ago no problems on the pear tree in pix, I also sprayed it in my other pear tree where the pears were smaller and today I have noticed half the pears have dropped, maybe I sprayed it too early on that tree, its the first time it is fruiting and there are only about ten pears on it left. Bit disappointed.

I rather think it more likely that they hadn't set properly Husk.
You can never be sure that a pear has set until it goose necks. That is when it bends over and points towards the ground.
This year we suffered a couple of nasty frost here in the UK that has hit pears and plums badly.
