Pear matures from September to October. During fruit growth and development, the early stages are mainly cell division and tissue differentiation, and the later stages are cell enlargement and pulp maturation. The fruit volume growth curve is S-shaped. Pear root growth has two growth peaks every year: the first growth peak occurs when new shoots stop growing; the second growth peak occurs from September to October. Under suitable conditions, the pear root system can grow year round without a dormant period. Because pear trees are widely distributed, their phenological stages vary greatly. In terms of flowering period, pear trees generally bloom in early to mid-February in Huili, Sichuan, and the flowers are white, and bloom in mid-May in Yanbian, Jilin; Yali trees bloom in early March in Changsha, Hunan, and early May in Beizhen, Liaoning. The flowering period varies from place to place by nearly two months. Pear trees cultivated in the same area have different phenological stages due to different types and varieties. From bud germination to flowering, the Qiuzi pear variety is the earliest, the white pear variety is later, the sand pear variety is later than the white pear variety, and the Western pear variety is later. The variety is the latest and the variation range is about 10 days.
